May 9: Let Me Tell You What Happened!

San Diego, CA

As I mentioned earlier in the day, I am devoting this week to straight photography without any excessive Photoshop manipulation.

I had lunch (and an afternoon meeting out at SDSU) with this erstwhile pair. Michele and Tom are my closest friends and both are long time colleagues. Here Michele is explaining why she was a bit late for lunch; how she had trouble crossing the border (she lives in Mexico).

Tom as you can see is thinking of other things.

The meeting went quite well. ;-)

Poor man was listening and then you picked up the camera and he started to pose and then a hot waitress walked by...

This is what Tom is hearing: "blah blah blah blah blah blah....." Ah, conversation is a lost art in this world. No one really hears anything that other people say. I wonder whether we really expect people to listen to us.

Good animated shot Robin.

Tom is thinking about that hot waitress off to the side with the hot pants on, serving the next table. Good capture! Repeat after me: It's OK to not manipulate in photoshop. It's OK to not manipulate in photoshop.

Guest		10-May-2005 02:38
You got her in mid-conversation! This is great!

Di		10-May-2005 02:10
Boy, she is telling a story, alright! Great capture, Robin. And I've seen that blank look on my husband's face before, does that mean he wasn't listening to me?

virginiacoastline		10-May-2005 01:43

Karen Leaf		10-May-2005 01:40
That's a priceless moment. I'm sure they'll be thanking you for all time :) LOL!

He's thinking of something, probably sports or sex related is what I'm guessing. Maybe cars.

Elaine (etfitz)		10-May-2005 01:14
I've seen that look before :)

Coleen Perilloux Landry		10-May-2005 00:41
I know that look! Great human interest photo, Robin.
