self portrait challenge - street photography

"oftentimes, street photographers take pictures they feel; the photographer happens to be there and captures the mood in a fraction of a second. he freezes a moment that you will forget in the same amount of time."

- Markus Hartel, about street photography

my sister-in-law took this photo while our family was strolling through Auvers-sur-Oise, the village where Vincent Van Gogh spent the last 100 days of his life.

she called it "love".
