I spent Thursday morning at the Apple Store taking a photography class and having my computer cleared out and updated. I’ve had Microsoft Word since 2011 and it’s about time to buy a new program. I can wait until the program dies, or can be proactive and buy a new one now. Hmm, I’m of the generation that believes everything I buy should last a lifetime—I’m talking my lifetime.
The photo workshop offered some helpful tips as I prepare to fly on Friday to Italy for two weeks. The focus, however, was on making contact with individuals before taking their picture. Useful when Emily and Abby join me, but not during that first week when I’ll be snapping away at strangers who don’t know they are a subject.
I wonder if I dare go up to someone I don’t know and ask to photograph them? Probably not. It would detract from that first week of solitude.
