ha. thanks buddy. when i first rode by she was taking his photo. i shy away from exploiting foreigners but this was too golden. by the time i turned around and went back they had moved on to her portrait. the best part was her sister, who was not in a bikini, along for the ride & glaring at their romantic bliss. too awkward to really take the photos needed to capture the moment. i need more courage and to realize i'll never see these people again. as long as i get a photo with them not looking at me i'm set. doesn't matter if you get hollered at in the end.
So good. I've been trying to overcome taking photos of people too--I've been doing this little photo blog journal with a friend of mine in AZ and he wants me to take photos of strangers, probably mostly freaks in SF. I can barely take photos of people I know let alone randoms. So far, I've gotten as far as musicians in BART stations. for me it's a fear of exposing myself to people and coming off as an asshole taking a photo. I think too much.

ReplyDeleteI have that exact same problem.... I see the raddest shit, and then bail on taking a photo of it on the off-chance I get shouted at.
ReplyDeletePussies.
It's time to man up...
