Holiday Snapshots

Precious moments frozen in time for eternity, or at least as long as the media lasts. I often hear the term "snapshot" applied to the harshest of criticisms in photography. In my opinion the subject of the snapshot is what makes the genre so appealing to lay eyes on. Emotion, unforced and pure, so much so that the viewer doesn't necessarily have to know the back story, to feel the rush of emotion which pours from the snap.
