Whoa...2 posts IN ONE DAY!???? Please say I'm dreaming. You aren't...this is real.
anyone. Or you can just come and hang out, but please please please...this is very important. Bring chips. Seriously, I'm starving.So, being that I am at home this week, I decided to venture out into the Great Beyond (namely the outdoors...namely my neighborhood) in search of Spring-like, colorful images. This request was put forth by the artist formerly known as Carmen de Couto (or as of 150 years ago DeCouto). Many of you know her by her stage name, Crouching Flamingo. Being that the floods have arrived, it was a very grey (gray?) and not so springy day outside. Yet the challenge was before me. It had to be answered.
Several events took place that I have been too shy to try. The first was I approached an elderly man walking down the street to ask him if I might have the pleasure of photographing him. Of this, he understood nothing. Turns out he didn't speak english (or so he said...I think). I tried to convey the message by other means, but without any luck, so reluctantly I stepped away from the REALLY COOL looking elderly man and stopped cornering him against a fence (not really).
The second thing I have never done was to knock on some random persons door to ask them if I could photograph a statue (sorta) of a flower in their back yard. They weren't home, so I just took some shots through their fence (not posted bc I haven't finished editing the shot I had to take from 16 miles away).
Well everyone, hope you enjoyed my ramblings, but I need to get back to work. Lunch break is over.
