an attempt at my two favorite girls.

I love taking pictures of people, but I find it very hard to get someone to let me photograph them, and when I do find someone they usually pose in an awkward way that ruins the picture. Anyway, these are a couple of my attempts.

This is my little sis on her birthday, she so hard to get a normal picture of.

My best friend Sarah...this was a lucky shot...I snapped it when she was least expecting it, eliminating any fake poses and fake smiles I would normally get. The flash reflected a little too much on her face, it seems over exposed. But despite that, I still like the picture itself.

Nice B&W work on the 1st pepper..the 2nd was a bit blownout with the flash but good to catch people before there see you with the camera.:thumb

Hi Pepper.. nice eyes on the second shot and I agree with Humungus, nice black and white. :D

I like the one of your sister. Looks very natural to me.

You are so beautiful (Sorry, dont know your name)!
I think that there must be no problems if you'll ask some guys/girls to take a portraits of them (saying, oh, you look so attractive, may I... ) Take 30-60 shots. Then choose 2-6 best and make 15x20 cm prints and present them to you "models"...
Thats my experience...
Repeat it 100-200 times...
(Try not to be ruined :-)
You'll (partly) not be afraid to ask people to take photo...
Spasibo and sorry for advice,
Yuri - your dgrin friend.

haha, that's true, we do look alike sometimes, but we have completly different expressions. You can't tell in the b&w but I have reddish hair and she has blond...:D
