Well turidia, I haven't run into anybody yet to turn me down with such gusto *wink - grin*, but if I do, it's understandable. After all, it is an unusual request - Can I shoot you?
Part of the idea for this challenge stems from wishing that we had a local photography club (not a profit oriented co-op) here in Ellsworth (a small rural community) like what's been captured in Pops' and Charlie's photos, but also, feeding the idea for this challenge, is a hope to bring new faces to this wonderful group of photographers that I've come to know in some way or another over past five years. Admittedly, these past five years has seen more of my absence than my presence here at CIC, CTF and CSLR, but life is funny sometimes in where we're at on any given moment. All I know is that in looking back, over that given time span and without exception, the best images that I've produced have been when I've been hanging around this place. And I hope to learn more and do better in no small way thanks to this kind and friendly community.
