As mentioned in the last post, when we were in Charleston this last time, we went to the beach (solidifying in my mind how much I would L-O-V-E to live there).
While I was resting on a gorgeous walkway that had been mostly blown away by a huge storm a few weeks prior, this couple walked past and then stopped to take a few pictures. The photographer in me could not help but take a few shots as well since the light and the setting were so pretty. As I sat there reviewing the shots in my camera, I mentioned to my sister-in-law that I would not mind showing it to them since they came out quite nice and what does she say?
"Do it."
And just like that, I actually did. I somehow managed to walk over to these strangers and stumble out that I wasn't some crazed stalkerazzi but that I saw the opportunity for a pretty shot and took it. I proceeded to give them my e-mail address and we talked about how big my lens was and I walked away wondering whether they would ever even contact me and feeling a liberating sense of accomplishment that I had had the confidence to do something I would not normally do.
Here is one of the shots. . .

Awesome! They are beautiful! I know the feeling your talking about. I did it this evening at an awesome resturant called trattoria one 41 in Duluth GA. It's a family of friends kind of business so one of the owners was actually our server and I gave her my card. She told me about a boutique next door that sells handbags... never would have made that connection and maybe can sell there one day!
