Well, there's the rub!  You know, when you're out on the street or at a 
public event,  you begin to watch, unnoticed by others, human drama in 
action, and you begin to sense there's a picture coming, & before you know 
it the camera is to the left of your nose, & you're looking through the view 
finder & there it is.

How different portrait shoots are!  There you are, your lovely subject is 
before, staring at you as if saying, "well, what do you want me to do?"  And 
there you are (or rather, there I was), probably looking perplexed, 
wondering, how do I make magic here?  How do I get the true spirit of this 
lovely subject to reveal itself?  Frankly, I find it all a bit daunting--but 
to paraphrase the great Eleanor Roosevelt,  do what you fear!

Thanks for the tips, Paul.

Cheers, Christine
