At the waterpark. I was NOT there to take photos, but here are a few anyway

[Mira]

Took these with my Olympus Stylus Tough camera.

Self evident water fun, these guys were under a huge bucket that fills with water and then dumps it down as it is full.


Enjoying the wall of water, I think he is, anyway


A modern day Heidi and her boyfriend right after they came out of a scary almost vertical drop. Yet they're still so gorgeous, I told them that, so they allowed me to take this photo


This kid just stopped me cold. He's a charmer examining the world around him with laissez-faire sophistication

And love your captions!

3. Thanks so much, Handmade and Callalily

I lose perspective and don't know what's worthwhile. I appreciate your feedback.
I think a lot of our photos speak to us because "we were there".
Being able to pass on to others what we saw and felt, that's where the distinction comes in.

4. Nice shots. Wish I could do that..

I can't take pictures of people. It makes me feel very awkward and self-conscious. In my head I feel like I am intruding. Even when they ask me to. It's just me.
And that's why I take pictures of animals.

5. I'm old, harmless looking and

I smile a lot. I talk them up if possible, camera is around my neck and visible, I smile some more and ask permission.

That's of course only if they can see me.

6. It's just me and my personal quirks.

I think because I deal with people all day long the last thing I want to do is deal with people.

7. Gives me insight

this explains why I go nuts whenever I come out of my basement.
