So far in 2011 I've been working on a picture of the day project. Most of the time taking one picture a day to feature in my book has been no big deal but sometimes I've had to get a bit creative. I take my camera everywhere including on my bike and lately I've had a few close calls and have learned some valuable lessons:
Most Valuable Lesson so far -- when taking a stealth picture of a stranger TURN OFF YOUR FLASH! This has gotten me in trouble at least three times that I can think of:
1) taking a picture of a grown woman wearing embroidered peacocks on her pants.
2) taking a picture of a really ugly bumper sticker while sitting on the on-ramp on the freeway
3) just this morning in line at McDonald's I saw one of those freaks with the vinyl families on their car but this one was Jesus fish vinyl family. I had had had to take a pic of that and once again forgot to turn off my flash. The woman followed me for a few miles until I turned off to go to work.
One of these times I'm going to get my ass kicked.
Turn off the flash Millet.
