This gallery is something of a personal challenge. When I started to use digital cameras I thought that taking images of people would be my favourite genre of photography. Then I found it very difficult to get the courage to ask people for their permission to take images of them. I enjoy taking candid portraits at weddings where no-one really pays any attention to photographers. Approaching strangers I find very difficult, and I'm somewhat diffident about posting images of friends without their permission. My family,bless them, have been very tolerant of me so far.

You have many wonderful portraits here, Maire! My respect and a big vote!
PS. I've just realised that I "borrowed" the title of this this gallery for my most recent portfolio! :)
