084 - I Went back and asked

I went back and asked if I could take a photo today of the barber as it was another grey day, but sadly it was far from the same setup, feel from the other day. All of the high chrome chairs were covered, he wasn't sitting in the chair drinking coffee alone reading his phone, the day wasn't as dark, it just didn't have the same zing that it did when I first I walked past - buuut I did ask and they had no issue, so another small goal ticked off.

After this I saw a beautiful motorbike that would have made a fab photo parked up outside a cafe. Drove past several times, got out and stood beside my car with the camera, then chickened out. The breakfast crowd was large, I had pants on I don't like and look gross in, didn't want to draw attention to myself. So next time wear clothing I am comfortable in and just walk up and take the shot!!!! I have to remember it's a moment in time and then it's gone.

Good for you, going back and asking about taking a photo. I think it's a great idea to just walk up and take the shot.

Baby steps! I'm usually too chicken to ask so I just try to be stealthy and then walk off really fast after I take the picture! :) You're brave & it paid off!

@lynnz @bluemoon I might of also bribed myself with a good takeaway coffee if I chose to accept the mission, ha ha.

Well done and a great shot! I too am much too chicken but one day I might even try to steal a shot and rush off ;-)

The hardest thing, asking. Very good.

It takes courage to ask. This is a great story telling shot.

Great capture of the inside of this nice barber shop.

Interesting story and shot, I don't usually ask either!

@pamalama @pyrrhula Thanks.
@radiogirl Thanks. I have had a look at the Australian laws re public photography and we don't have to, just something I need to work on.
