Me: Hey Mr, Can I take your Picture?

Man: Why?

Me: Because you look cool just sitting there

Man: Um, ok

Me: (thinking to self, and you look really really cute)

Shame I didn't notice until after the fact that I was on the wrong shutter speed and the resulting shot has overblown highlights. But I still like it. One of my major challenges in 2010 has been to overcome my fear of asking complete strangers if I can take their photograph.

I guess it helps that I'm pretty harmless looking and sound like a tourist.
