Whilst in Lower Wyke last weekend came across a wedding party preparing to enter the local church, went over to one of the bridesmaids and asked to take her portrait, this is Sam sister of the bride posed took three shots of her in slightly different poses then walked away and didn't intrude any more the two professional photographers were most intrigued as I adjusted my camera for the conditions, then instructed Sam to pose how I wanted with just the hint of a smile.
@rosiekind Thank you Rosie I'm still a little apprehensive about approaching and asking strangers to take their portrait not got around to asking men yet, lol:)

Peter, that's likely due to the fact that I worked in PR at police hq years ago - a building full of policemen and say half a dozen females. Then more recently I worked with dyslexic employees on the shop floor at Ford. So I guess everything is good training for something else! Thank you, had not thought of it before.
@stray_shooter Thanks Ron basically got talked into it by Babs and Hazel, its still a little daunting to approach a stranger and ask to take their portrait, sticking with the ladies its even more daunting to ask men, lol:)

I was thinking about that Peter because in my strangers' project men make up a disproportionately high percentage! http://365project.org/tags/haze's-strangers
