Be Brave

Thanks Gail Meet (

I am so moved by Vivien Marie’s story and inspired by her photography, I went to the morning market to get up close and personal. Trust me, the first shot is scary, but when I found no one is taking notice, the shutter is very easy to press.

This man got extra pair of eyes on his chest; only notice it when I uploaded to my computer.

ps He is tasting market food.

You have captured a quiet and pleasant expression and got good light but not too bright!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nicely captured- and he doesn't even know you've taken his picture. Well done!

[Alicias]

He looks like he's too busy to be concerned about you taking his picture. It might be a cat on his t shirt?

[Babs]

Nice shot. Looks really good in b&w. He may not be watching you but his shirt is!!

[Yao RL]

@onewing you are so funny.

[Gail]

This is a lovely photograph...Thank you for the mention too, Yao. I was so happy to be introduced to the photography of Vivien Maier a few months ago. Quite inspiring!

[Yao RL]

@gailmmeek This is no way near what her photos expressed. But at least I get out to have observed and pointed my lens to people even I was terrified. I really appreciate your post about her and I will dig out more info about her.

I too don't feel comfortable taking people shots. You did very well with this one. I guess it gets easier.

[Kareen King]

Nice capture!

[Lisa Stein]

Wonderful capture! I am intimidated by people shots, too. Maybe I need to read about Vivian Maier and get inspired, too! This is great!

[Taffy]

This is a wonderful candid! Admirable that you went out there and shot people -- I find it SO hard to do that, and your result is terrific.

I really like his concentrated expression! You're a real reporter! ;) Well done, Brave Yao!
