Guarded/Unguarded I am trying to capture something, an emotion, a feeling, a moment where the photographer and the subject connect. I'm not interested in taking fake smile pictures. Genuine feelings. Sometimes, you only get the "Smile" and that is a counter to my best photos. (I think) To that end, I talk as much as I snap, sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn't.
I come in contact with a lot of performers - why? I have no idea.
