    Ready Febrian is a great photographer, been following him on tumblr for a little while now. Too be honest all the photos are great because you don’t see many photo’s of smiling people on the internet these days.

  • DeValCo

    These are all amazing. Well done everyone. I’ve enjoyed them tremendously.

  • Lisathebrit

    All great but Gary Tyson’s shot is my favorite

    Absolutely the amazing picture of Ready Febrian. He captures every moment as if you are really there. Seeing such a smile on a kids face makes you forget all the problems in the world. It is pure and you can read the happiness in the eyes. Of the all 8 pictures I also believe that Ready Febrian stands the closest with the person on the picture, which is important as a photographer to make no distance between you and your model. this is the real shit! go READY!

  • Jem Rouge

    Aww, love all the smiles!! But I actually see a story in Gurung Rj’s image :]

    • krass

      totally agree! all those details and everything. good job RJ!

  • gandi

    what i like the most is a photo of a sincere and honest smile of a little girl at the bottom..

    Gary Tyson is the best, but they are all great.

  • Kees

    Eric,
    Great selections on the photos! they are all great. Have you ever thought of giving out the weekly assignment on the Thursday so it gives everyone a full week (including weekend) to work on it?
    Just a thought/suggestion
