Have been a bit off in regards to writing the last few days - just haven't had anything of much to inspire me. Saw a couple of ants, lost in the middle of the square, fighting over a crumb, with the winner slowly dragging it away to who knows where, and the loser, who had been half crushed by a foot anyways, to crawl in ever decreasing circles.
They have put a couple of new buildings up in Brisbane that are about seventy stories high - I saw a plane taking off from the airport come up behind one of the buildings (my perspective of things), and I thought when the WTC towers went down, they were hit around the 70th floor mark. Which led me to think about what it must have been like to be in Manhattan that day, especially lower Manhattan.
How does one go about asking strangers permission to take their photos? I see great faces, great hairstyles all the time, I don't look below the neckline for picture topics, thank you very much, and see all the great portraits on the photo sites online, but how does one go about starting to be a portrait photographer? I am sure if I asked my family and friends, they would be nine types of bored and annoyed even before I turned the camera on LOL.
And, I'm done - already. I promise to do a real post sometime soon.
This weekend upcoming is going to be fun. My sister is moving into a new flat, and I couldn't find an excuse fast enough to not help with the shift. At least I'm not painting the place, which Mum and the sister will be doing over the next couple of days - interior painting this is.
