Dishawn and Jasmine are students at Hartford Public High School. They were walking on Forest Street while I was checking out the Mark Twain, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Katherine Day Seymour historic houses. They were friendly and cute kids, so I was happy to oblige them.

They have great smiles! It is very hard to ask strangers if you can take their pictures. I'm glad they volunteered for you!
Ha, people never ask me for a photo, that sounds a bit easier. Dishawn really knows how to smile and I love Jasmine's hair.
You've taken a fine picture for them. Do they know they can now be seen all over the world?
I don't think it's difficult to ask strangers...most are flattered. Seldom been turned down. But, it is nice when the request is made to the photographer.
Leave it to spirited kids; may they never lose their enthusiasm for life. Great photo, Jack.
Great portrait Jack! I love it when people ask for a picture. Great smiles!
What a wonderful portrait. Now that Kate is coming to Santa Fe you will probably see more people than what you would see on my blog.
Great smiles and enthusiasm in these two! You must have the look of an official photographer, mon ami, and I am anticipating more street portraits from you.

Beautiful smiles! Great portrait!
Brilliant portrait Jack, you obviously made them feel very much at ease. Gorgeous smiles, reminds me I have to go to the dentist next week haha!
You did capture a happy couple.
I do love those smiles! Youth and life at its very best! And what a terrific capture, Jack! Enjoy your day and SMILE!!

I've had that happen to me, also. But not too often.
It was probably 'cause they saw this very beeg man with a wee camera and felt sorry for him. You think?
Look at those gorgeous smiles! I can see that they'd like to have their photo taken since they are so photogenic.
(When I've asked people to take their picture I usually get a mistrustful "What for?" and I'm a very normal looking 50-yr-old. Maybe Steffe chats first, gets to know them, and then tells them about the blog then takes their photo...
I chatted last weekend with Barbara the biker from Mammoth and still could not ask to take her pic.)
Nice couple, Jack!
You must inspire trust.. Did they ask you about your blog, to see themself?..
A lovely picture - hope they see it.
Well, I have lots of tourists ask me for photos, not locals, lol!!!
Such a bright, happy smiling couple, a real pleasure to meet you guys!
Yes, the ARE cute! You've captured their essence well!!!
He looks to love the camera!
Sweet! They look like fun kids. I never dare to take photos of peeps. :)
What a cute, happy couple. They must have noticed, you looked like you knew what you were doing.
You know by now how much I love to photograph strangers. I think you might just have the personality and gumption for it Jack. Let's see some more!

They ARE cute kids and this is a great shot!
Fabulous smiles. Did you give them a sales pitch about HDP? I'm sure after striking that pose for you they wanted to see the final product....right?
So cute! They seem very happy too;o)
Thanks for sharing your wonderful shot, Jack;o)
