I have been interested in photography since I could walk. Other kids played with toy guns but I walked around with a camera. I was always fascinated by the fact that I could steal a piece of time and put it in a little box.....and keep it forever.
John, I have been gone a bit from D2 but now that I am back I see that the quality of your work has not suffered. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. Thanks. Mike/Canada
I usually have some idea of what I would like. Sometimes I think of it on the spot. As long as you relax and keep a sense of humour you will get through the shoot fine. Just let them talk about their cat or whatever makes them happy. Then they will be like clay. You can mold them. They are usually so nervous so they really want directions. Otherwise they feel awkward and are lost. Just be nice and fun...and guild them to where you want them. :o) Hope that helped a little. Have a Great Holiday :o) John G
