I don't consider myself an introvert but sometimes when trying to take photos where people are present, my insecurities as a photographer come into play. My camera is a small digital and I'm intimidated by photographers with expensive cameras and lenses. Maybe if I get a nicer camera and learn how to use it, I'll gain some confidence. <br /><br />Your photo featuring a renovated beauty shining next to the structure in need of repair is beautifulJojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843762553010099404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-28410755522311228932014-02-08T14:14:49.142-08:002014-02-08T14:14:49.142-08:00Love the juxtaposition of the two houses it really...Love the juxtaposition of the two houses it really tells a story.

Thanks for digging into the files for those lovely shots of much further East in Europe than I've ever been. Have you ever seen the fabulous manhole covers that Susan Point designed, winners of a City of Vancouver contest for their storm sewers a few years ago. They're Coast Salish in inspiration, worth walking around Vancouver with your head down . . . here's a link I found: http://ironcladart.ca/competition/examples.phpmaterfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-63346582762237854272014-02-08T10:45:09.788-08:002014-02-08T10:45:09.788-08:00I guess it's a good challenge when it makes yo...I guess it's a good challenge when it makes you think and ponder!

I do find I have more photos of the back of people rather than the front because I'm like you, kind of nervous about taking pictures of people. But if it's a very crowded city it works a bit better. The nice thing about a point and shoot as you can almost put it waist level and just see what you get and no one notices you taking the pic! podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-3199026028800510692014-02-08T07:06:50.788-08:002014-02-08T07:06:50.788-08:00This is fun!

And, I'm from a small town so chances are they may know me, or not, or just see me again later and remember me as the one with the camera! It's too bad too because there actually is much to shoot in our little town although it is in great disrepair. As for the city, I rarely get there and never with time.

I feel the camera somehow connects me with the person. There was one recently I thought would be a great photo. An older lady, very well dressed, was taking a nap (or just resting) in a folding chair, with a hat over her head and face, in the sun, in a church garden. My family thought I was weird for wanting to take a her picture so I didn't. I hope to see her again in the spring and maybe I can ask her permission (after the wakes up).cedarmerefarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884226522131587799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-61752056401301249932014-02-08T03:10:39.382-08:002014-02-08T03:10:39.382-08:00I understand totally about feeling self-conscious ...I understand totally about feeling self-conscious taking photos of people on streets.

There were those who would photo bomb every picture if they could. But, so many would cover their faces or run.<br /><br />When we lived in Jamaica we were told to never take a photo without asking because people were superstitious about their image being "caught" and used for bad Obeah.<br /><br />I love the story you wove about the gentleman walking away from you. I love to people watch and weave stories.<br /><br />And yes, I definitely think a trip to Europe with a better camera is imperative.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-50075799916018594322014-02-07T16:02:09.846-08:002014-02-07T16:02:09.846-08:00Oh, I can feel your angst as you tried to photogra...Oh, I can feel your angst as you tried to photograph people unawares.

They are really interesting and varied subjects. <br />It is sometimes difficult to get strangers to pose on the street - especially here in the USA I find - however in other countries people are often so happy to be asked for their picture to be taken. The Russian woman I took at a carnival insisted that she go get her hat first, then smoothed down her wrinkled dress, and posed as if she was a movie star, haha!<br /><br />Great job - congratulations!<br />Love, MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-25079357519058444122014-02-07T14:43:07.252-08:002014-02-07T14:43:07.252-08:00I can understand your reluctance to photograph peo...I can understand your reluctance to photograph people on the street and can imagine the woman feeling the need to avoid your camera, not knowing you or the purpose you had for taking the shot. I remember hearing a New York blogger being interviewed on CBC radio. He took a photo of a different person everyday, but he always asked permission to post it and had a little chat with the person to find out something interesting about them.<br /><br />As for being an introvert, I definitely fall into that category.<br /><br />KarenMy Little Home and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519563352358635257noreply@blogger.com
