A trio of kids dressed in leather and chains, along with a german shephard, were sitting on a door step. I was well across the way and tried to photograph them with my zoom. For some odd reason my camera wouldn't focus.<br /><br />The next thing I knew the girl came across to me and we had the exact same conversation. My take was that she wanted my camera, but I never backed down, telling her I did not take her picture, I was just practicing with the focus. When she realized I wasn't afraid of her, (actually I was terrified!) she went back to her companions.<br /><br />I was weak-kneed for sure when I joined my companions!janet davishttp://frontseatimages.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-67632499176016935312009-07-12T03:21:19.503+02:002009-07-12T03:21:19.503+02:00As photographers we all have unusual encounters of...As photographers we all have unusual encounters of all sorts, most involving people.

And as I imagine the photo with a greater saturation of color or more contrast, I think I prefer this version. The stranger looms against his non-verdant, monochromatic background: he is Jilly's fever dream.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309153352217597333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-366035435070297912009-07-08T16:09:05.843+02:002009-07-08T16:09:05.843+02:00What a funny exchange!!
