That's Me in the Mirror

Not sure which angle I like better, I am leaning more towards the first one. I like the angle I took it at but I also like the fact that its not head on. The second, I like too because you can see more of her face and her smile. Which is better?

Dressy & Casual

I like this. 2 people in a common place/setting,dressed completely different from each other.I think the 2 subjects mesh well together. Also, I like the idea that neither are directly looking or interacting with each other. Because of the location, I had a lot of shading from the surrounding trees.

This happens to be one of my favorite shots. I wish I could tell you why I like this but I look at it and it makes me very happy. This was taken about 20 minutes before the sun would have gone down.

Opinions

I'm back to carrying my camera around w/me 24/7. Today, I had 2 photo opts but my feelings got in the way. 1st: was a homeless man curled up sleeping in between a big potted plant & a wall of an entrance. 2nd: was a man in an alley writting (words,not pictures) on cardboard boxes. In both instances, I felt like I was invading their privacy that I should not be there unless welcomed. Unfortunately in either cases, I did not take the shot even though I really wanted to. My question to you is: Should I have taken a quick shot? My gut is telling me that I should have taken the shot of the sleeping man but ask the alley man if I could take his picture. I actually went back to see if either were still there but neither were, chalking this up to a lesson of think quick. What is your opinion?

Finally

Finally things have died down enough I can start back on my photography...new play is to take photos(duh). I would like to take 1 photo and comment on it..what I think about and such. Hoping you will also comment with your ideas. Tonight I will be my 1st day. Would like to do this once a week if not more..we will see.

Til then

June Events

WOW this is has been a very busy month for me. I have had 2 birthays, 2 high school graduations, a trip to Allentown, Penn to see 100 Monkeys in concert, 3 father's day, and my son's wedding. Now I only took pictures for graduations, concert, and wedding. I have about 20-25 rolls of film to develop. I have been working late at work so it is slowing me down to get them developed. As soon as I do, I really do want to post them and see what you all think. I hope to have some time soon to do at least a little at a time. I don't want to overload you all. Soon, I promise.
