Back in May, I was asked by my friend Jason to pop up to Memphis for a little photo shoot. Jason is Director of Youth Ministry at Germantown United Methodist Church, and Sue is the Associate Director of Youth Ministry. They wanted to do a few photos for a postcard to send their students. We did some with my digital camera, and then I grabbed my Bronica ETRSi to snap a couple more. Their reaction was “Whoa! What is THAT camera?!” My big ole 645 camera, that’s what!

Lovely shots! I’m always too shy to ask people to take their portraits, even friends. I should do that more often in 2014. And I can take out my Pentacon Six which I think is even bigger 😉
Thanks, Urban! I think everyone I know has grown accustomed to the fact that their photo will be taken at some point when I’m around. Most are pretty happy with this 🙂
You definitely SHOULD ask people if you may photograph them – if you would eventually would like the boldness to ask strangers for the opportunity to photograph, starting by asking friends would be a great way to start.
These are so fun, I love the colours especially.
Thanks, Rhianne!
