Sunday afternoon overthinking

[scarlettina]

Overthinking, as usual.

Spent the morning with my friend BC in Ballard: We had a tasty brunch at Vera's and then strolled through the Sunday Market.

Generally speaking, I'm not a terribly shy person. But somehow, if I have my camera with me, I get shy pretty damn quick and I'm not sure why. It might have to do with the fact that I've spent so much time by myself. It might have to do with my often having used my camera as a sort of filter in situations I think are cool but in which I'm uncertain how to interact. Take a look at some of my Flickr sets--I rarely take pictures of people unless they're people I know. Having BC with me for moral support (though I'm not certain he understood that to be part of his role this morning), I managed to unclamp my otherwise usually loose lips, talk to folks and take some pictures of stuff I don't usually shoot: people. There are only a few, though. The doggies were out in the market today--Seattle does love its dogs--and a couple of them had wonderful character. I think the doggie shots are my favorites. Here's the set, including a couple of shots of my friend of years, BC.

Only one of the shots I included in my batch was posed, and it's just because the woman had such a great smile and attitude. I'm pretty satisfied with all of them. Did you have a moment to look at the gallery?

I did... I hope you didn't think I was referring to your photoset...I was just voicing my .02c.

I like the doggie pics best. The little brown collie-mix (?) is adorable. I'll take 5.
