A Soldier in Iraq mows the lawn outside his tent with a pair of scissors. His wife mailed him the soil, fertilizer and grass seed. He said the lawn reminds him of home. Photo by Department of the Army.
I keep getting some sort of "Certificate" from the US Army when I try and see your photo, rather than the picture. Can you try and repost?If it doesnt have to be one we took, I like this one enough to make it my new avatar.

How do you go about photographing people you don't know? Do you introduce yourself and ask them before hand or do you just snap and run? Some of my favorite photos are of people I don't know just doing what they do but it's hard for me to get up the courage to ask somebody if I can take a pic of them unless I have a good excuse to be doing so. Here's a picture I took for an architecture & culture project.beating the summer heat
Superb B&W

I usually have the same problems photographing people. I'm afraid they're going to get upset. But my latest series was shot at a street festival, so I could kind of blend into the crowd without being seen. If you're asking about legality, you're pretty much allowed to photograph anybody on public property. I'll sometimes ask as a courtesy if I go in for a close up. But I rarely have had the guts to do that.How do you go about photographing people you don't know? Do you introduce yourself and ask them before hand or do you just snap and run?

Also, sometimes I'll give a homeless person a dollar if he lets me take his picture. That's worked out well.

Very nice...would like to see it in a larger size.
The Black Angels
Taken after their show at the Empty Bottle last Thursday. If they come to your town, don't miss them. Rumor has it they'll be touring with the Black Keys later this year.
