Your talent in making contact with people and getting them to pose for you never ceases to amaze me. Congratulations, I'm always so impressed !<br /><br />Great photo here and indeed the odds that someone dressed just like in this artwork would pass nearby were slim... but you saw the opportunity and that has to do with eye and perception far more than with luck. The savvy photographer knows how to seize the opportunity. Others just do see the opportunity.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022409485753466741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-33318008969494885652013-01-19T04:21:26.918-05:002013-01-19T04:21:26.918-05:00Very nice portraits!

It was fascinating to read your own analysis of your craft, and to read through the responses of your regular readers.<br /><br />I agree that to bowl up to complete strangers and ask to take their photograph is a massive challenge, but it also relieves the photographer of a massive burden, to know that their subject is okay with what is about to happen. Always a worry in this day and age.<br /><br />Many thanks, Jack.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647929951322724618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-85445261011620014702013-01-16T12:20:58.611-05:002013-01-16T12:20:58.611-05:00You executed this exercise very well, Jack.

I recall one time you mentioned on SDP that you couldn't imagine approaching strangers. And, then, all of a sudden (it seemed), you started posting all kinds of nice portraits of strangers. That's an impressive way to stretch and grow. Bravo!

I had never been one for taking photos except of my kids when they were growing up and the only camera I ever used for years were the disposable ones. And then my son gave me a great camera because I was having difficulty with retirement -- didn't know what to do with myself??? My kids were grown and I was no longer working! What now?? About the same time I discovered blogging and I've been a busy old broad ever since!! And all of us do seem to have fun, don't we!Sylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484577678585907669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-78560613081448717582013-01-15T12:16:54.787-05:002013-01-15T12:16:54.787-05:00I'm amused, very clever, Jack!I'm amused, very clever, Jack!Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480403752005019620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-20253421720920264102013-01-15T09:44:50.640-05:002013-01-15T09:44:50.640-05:00Good job on both these photos.
