Chatting up all these strangers.

[perfectoarts]

I was trying to gather some photographs for an assignment.
So I took stock and actually ask these total strangers to pose for me on the streets.

Girls, I need a bravery reward!

The first guy was so scary, but turned out to be a little pussy cat.
The second one, well he was very easy on the eye and all morning I kept bumping into him.
My last fellow, he was a jovial kind I found hiring out bicycles at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens. He was the easiest of them all.

You're very brave ingrid. I have yet to pluck up the courage to ask anyone other than family to pose for me. Well done.

The photos are great, I like the third one best.

Ingrid - you are a brave soul. I could never do something like this. I like the last one best, it truly shows how happy he is and this one looks like a more natural pose.

Wow, they are brilliant, it was one of my favorite hobbies (if you can call it that!), just looking at people in the street and watching the world go by, there are so many interesting looking people.

Very impressed that you had the courage to stop these people and ask them to take a photo. Spot on!

Great photos, my favorite is the third one. He looks like an old fisherman with more stories under his belt than I've had hot dinners!

Thanks for your replies and enjoying my 3 males.

Well I am home out of hospital. Hmmm. this will be all I shall be doing for sometime. Rest and no heavy lifting for 6 weeks. I forgot to ask the Doctor whether that included my heavy camera gear LOL. Especially the telephoto lens. Ah, what a good day. I am alive, sore and still shockingly nauseated, but it is a good day.

So these are my companions for a little while.....
Sorry only had my little point and shoot in the bedside drawer.

Ingrid I did not even know you were having surgery! I hope all went well, and you are back lugging around that camera equipment soon! Best wishes!

I like the second one because it looks like something from a magazine ad. They are all very nice, but I love the way the subject is framed and turned to the left of the photo. The first photo (for me) has a lot of things going on in it. He has so much print, necklace etc that draws my eye away from him.
