Really Nervous!

In 10 minutes, I'm leaving to take pictures of 5 people in the community for my Mid-Term Assignment.
I'm really nervous!  Why?  Because I'm engaging people and it's not me.  This class assignment of mine is really pushing me.

Yesterday I went to these people and let them know that I will be coming.  So I should not be nervous right?  But I am!

Kinda different than taking people shots from a far with a long lens.

I also asked one street vender if she has old people at her home.  That is what they call people here without being offensive.  And she said yes.  So after I shoot her making breakfast on the street, we will go back to her home to capture her mother.  As her father has already passed away.

Stay tuned for the pictures!

Update, it went really well.  Far beyond my expectations came out.  It was a different Shelly that showed up.  After the event I was exhausted!  But all I wanted to do was edit my pictures.  After taking 493 images in 2 hours I narrowed it down and got 21 good pictures of different people.  I'm so excited, but more importantly I was MOVED by the people and their stories.  I went to a poor part of town and it was like a HELP-PORTRAIT where I would take pictures of them and promise to bring them back the pictures.  So in 2 weeks I'm gonna make good on my promise. Can't wait to show the images.  Twelve years ago it was all farmland.
