My Worst Critic

I am much more comfortable taking photos without people in. When I went out last weekend to my local shopping precinct, every person I approached to take their photo shuffled away as fast as they could. Very rarely will a beautiful piece of scenery scuttle off before I can capture it. I had my spiel ready - explaining I was a photographer, that I liked their clothes and wanted to take a photo. But if I even looked at someone they would hurry away. Another thing that I found very awkward was the fact that most of the well dressed people there were mothers with young children. So, I ended up calling it a day and going home photoless after an hour of trying.

I might try and go out with a friend next time so I don't look quite so... weird.
