I always shy away from taking photos of people I don’t know—this is such a nice solution. Beautiful colors!
I feel the same way at times – I think it feels intrusive almost. But photography is also about gaining the courage to ask someone if they will let you take a shot of them… something I need to practice more I think! Thanks for your comment!
