SHOOTING FROM THE HIP

I took lots of pictures this summer.  Many of them were of strangers.  Lacking a tele-photo lens, I had to get close.

    Clumsy at best, I walk up  pretending I'm photographing something else.   Then, I lower the camera -as if pausing- and snap a few at hip level.  Every now and then one comes out okay.                     Michigan Man

If I were a serious photographer, I would shoot hundreds of pictures of people staring at their cell phones.  Sometimes I feel like the only one who isn't.
