Ok, so tonight I decided to go on a Photo Walk to get out of the house and get something constructive done (kill two birds with one stone is the perfect analogy to describe it).
I was excited to get some shots until I got in my car and started driving because Orlando seemed so dead. When I finally found a place to shoot it ended up being a grocery store plaza. I wanted to capture the emptiness and lifeless look of this lot.
So while I’m shooting I notice that the people that work for the grocery store(don’t want to mention the name) in the plaza I’m shooting at are moving around and getting curious. So I approach them and let them know what’s going on so they don’t call the cops. They jokingly asked to be in some photos I laughed a little then continued.
About 25 minutes later a cop rolls into the parking lot. Then the cop (Officer Clyde) pulls right up to me with the helicopter searchlight cop cars have pointed at me and asks what I’m doing, and to see some I.D. lol normal cop stuff he was pretty cool about the whole situation and told me it was one of the employees that called the cops.
I just find it funny how some people will try to lead you to believe that they are comfortable within a certain situation when in reality they aren’t oh well still got my shots ; )
All in all I feel it was a pretty productive night. I got about 120 shots and I like about 80 not bad for a semi-beginner.
I have a day of trying to figure out how to make my tumblr and wordpress look more unique and not so plain(absolutely not a mirror of my personality).
