I'm very shy... during my trip to Spain with BAMartin, I struggled to be bold with strangers, but maybe that was because with both of us and our hefty cameras, we descended on people like paparazzi! ...
Funny thing is, when I first looked over your photos in the original thread I was thinking, "I sure wish I had his nerve." But, since it was all an act, maybe there is hope for me after all. :)

Well, I think I have found a way around some of the problems expressed here. How many pictures you don't take now would you take if you were invisible?

As soon as they are affordable, I can begin stalking the great shots (or become a paparazzi).

I have noticed that the shots that generally do best for me are the ones that come into my mind fully or almost fully formed when I see the challenge topic. Unfortunately, I have been having to come up with ideas more and more lately and it is showing in my scores. It's not that ideas don't strike out of the blue anymore, but that the ones that do require setup situations that make me uncomfortable...


There is a famous line by William Carlos Williams: "No ideas but in things", which I remind myself of from time to time. It encourages me to discover intrinsic properties and has probably prevented both artifice and boredom from entering either process or picture.
