I went downtown today to add some variety to the project, but was overwhelmed and intimated. There was so many people, too many choices. I had a tough time tracking down a model. Secondly, remember just a couple of days ago I said that I am getting better in asking people for pictures? Turns out I was wrong. I used to wander around bus stops or train stations, where people stand around and wait, which would be relatively easier for me to approach them. But when I was at downtown today, people were constantly moving. The challenge is how to stop a person without being rude. It's a totally different game.
Although it's though, the reward is also exceptionally great. Why? Let's let today's picture do the talking.
Thanks Elyse.

For this walk I wasn't exactly sure what to do. It was drizzling rain and on Sunday so I needed to do something. The rest of the week had been busy so this was the only time I had to do my photowalk.
