Sometimes it's nice to catch a moment in time without the usual smiles that photographers want to force on their subjects. Deeper, darker moods are much harder to choreograph and capture, and willing subjects, with this capibility, harder to find. But with the right person, place and proper mood, these photos can say a lot more.

Of course, along with a moodier subject comes the necessity to create a moodier atmosphere. But with the proper lighting, setting etc, it can be done. The arches of Balboa Park and the colors of the walls and railings help to get a somber mood going. Hopefully it comes through.
