The photos that almost got me arrested

Okay, so I wasn't really almost arrested, but it sounds more interesting when I phrase it that way. If you missed yesterday's blog, be sure to check it out and read about my encounter with a Westmoreland Mall security guard.

I think what irked me the most about being asked to stop shooting, was that I was having so much fun. It took me a while for me to work up the courage to approach a stranger and ask to take his or her photo, but once I did, I really got into it. Sure, I got more "nos" than "yeses", but even the nos were polite. And, the people who did say "yes" really enjoyed having a portrait made. One gentleman even said that it was the first time he'd had a professional photographer take his photo since he was in high school. It was a good feeling and it was disappointing to have to stop.

Sharon and I did get several nice shots of the shoppers and a few of our favorites are below (mine are first). And if you're one of the wonderful people who posed for us, be sure to email me so I can send you a free print.

And here are some of Sharon's.
