It's been almost 6 months since I came back from the Philippines. I am back to my inanimate subjects. Flowers, leaves, yards -- and animals, those that can't complain. Since I got back, I have not asked anyone if I could take pictures of them until yesterday. And I sounded like a creep too. The poor girl must have thought I'm some kind of a weirdo. My husband's cousin's girlfriend came for a swim yesterday, she has a 13 year old daughter who came with her friend too. I so badly wanted to ask them if I could take pictures of them but could not find the courage, UNTIL they left, I got on FB and tried to the girl's name so I could send a PM to ask if she would be interested in a photo shoot, her and her friend. Wait, What? That was the reply. And then I explained that I am practicing to be a photographer and wondering if they are interested in a shoot, I just got an OK back in reply to that proposition. I felt so upset. Then today, I looked again and I saw that those 2 girls have the same name, spelled differently, and I sent the message to the friend instead of the daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so upset.
I am too shy to ask people, because I am not sure if I can deliver or if they would be happy with my work.
Finally tonight, I posted on my facebook wall that I need human subjects, but nothing substantial of course, who knows.
