I'd love taking pics of strangers, because sometimes you run into very interesting people and it's really frustrating not being able to simply ask for permission, when in the end you simply try to steal some nice shot... that makes me feel unconfortable! And yes, if someone would ask me, I'd feel really weird....which is why I give up in the end.. But your move is really smart, congrats! I'll read suggestions and try myself to overcome my shyiness... :<BR/><BR/>Cheers from Italy!<BR/>MQrlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-87924090863944953952008-06-11T16:22:00.000-04:002008-06-11T16:22:00.000-04:00what a story, i like this!good luck, it sounds gre...what a story, i like this!<BR/>good luck, it sounds great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-25475101189281472902008-06-05T08:01:00.000-04:002008-06-05T08:01:00.000-04:00That's awesome!

Both that you have a list, and that you are actually doing it!<BR/><BR/>When I was a Journalism major, we had specific assignments to photograph strangers. Young, old, weathered. Each assignment had a specific "theme." It was TERRIFYING, but the interactions were priceless...even the ones that included expletives. <BR/><BR/>Two things I learned: 1) age=beauty, and 2) take the time to smile at a strangerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-90748927123624028592008-06-02T19:52:00.000-04:002008-06-02T19:52:00.000-04:00Wow...I have always wanted to do a project just li...Wow...I have always wanted to do a project just like this. I too am a bit uncomfortable in front of strangers. It's not them that makes me nervous it's the being in front performing part. Love the photos. Love your blog. This post brought tears to my eyes. I just love it. <BR/>I wouldn't really like my photo being taken so much, I would not like giving my name but if I got a bit comfortable and started to get to know the person just a little bit...then maybe. :)lookwhaticandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187693559900846458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-69043425218472488652008-05-21T10:10:00.000-04:002008-05-21T10:10:00.000-04:00This is a great idea...

( i´m sorry, weird language, i dont speak english well, but i hope you understand).<BR/>I was never feeling acward or upset or anything. These photographers were all art students that were doing some project for school. (different years thoug. i wonder if the teacher regocnized me after seeing my picks three years in a row...).<BR/>They were all very very nervous and i have to say that all that nervousness made it easier for me, somehow. I wanted to help them. I actually think that photographing thing was a part of the test to get in that artschool, so i really felt i wanted help them out.<BR/>They all told me why they wanted to take my picture, they all seemed nervous, and they all seemed very humble and sincere. That worked for me.<BR/><BR/>You are my hero!isoinpapuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799769021034200670noreply@blogger.com
