A Season Of Giving

Okay not a great shot but it was a first for me so I had to put it in my project. Walked out of work to the bell ringing Salvation Army greeter. It's a cold and rainy day out today. I thought he really fit the picture with his look and hat. He's right outside the front door so the only way to get a shot would be to ask. Had my camera in the car so as I walk to it I keep telling myself to grab the camera and go back and ask. Well got in the car and drove by the front telling myself park and ask, park and ask. Why this is so hard for me I don't know but I DID IT. Walked up and asked him if he'd mind me taking his picture. Only took two shots . Think I was still in shock that I asked and he was happy to humor me. Dropped a donation in his bucket . He said bless you and I said thank you.
Lovely portrait Leslie! Love the story as well. I know I am such a wuss to ask people I don't know to pose for me too :) But it is a great shot! :) Well done!

Great shot. I feel as you do but really all they can do is say no! I'm not sure why it is so difficult either!

Such a great shot, Leslie. So glad you asked him. I still have a hard time asking.

No stopping you now then Leslie!! Great shot, I applaud your bravery!

It is always hard for me to ask and even when they say ok, I am nervous and hurry the shot and then end up so mad because it turned out unfocused. You did great!
