This is going to be a tough theme for me because I always feel uncomfortable taking pictures of strangers.  I can count on two hands the number of shots I've taken in the past two years or so...  This will be a great way to push myself and try something new!  Popup LinkThis is a photo from the fair last year.  I was set to take a picture of my son when this girl bumped into me.  I got the shot of her by accident, but I'm glad I did.  She and the other kids were having so much fun with their silly string fight!

And in other news, you might remember a story I posted here some time ago [http://www.photographica.org/story/2005/11/9/181527/906] that featured a picture of  Popup LinkFrank , another stranger that I asked to photograph.  That picture is featured in the current issue of JPG Magazine!  It is my second 'published' shot, so I am thrilled.

    lol... I was so surprised that she bumped into me and all I could think about was whether she noticed that I took the shot. But she was too busy laughing and ran off before I had a chance to say a word. I fully expected to get a blur or a picture of the sky or the ground!

    Sometime accidental shots turn out to be some of the best shots, or atleast pleasant surprises. Great capture of the moment.
