Something Sunday --- You got to ask...

Recently while on my travels some good advice from an awesome photographer mentor and friend came to mind.  He has always said you will not get the photo if you do not ask.  Now granted for some this is not a problem but for others of us it can be hard to disrupt a persons life and plans for us to take a photo.  I for one am glad in this case I did.  A couple was out snapping photos.  The fun part was the woman was pregnant and they wanted to record that.  As I watched them an idea for a photo I have been wanting to try came along.  I asked if they would be interested in my idea.  I explained it to them and let them do it but I wanted to try as well.  Here is the result!

 
 
I thank this couple for trying my idea and allowing me to take a few of my own.  I also thank Levi Sim ( http://www.sdesignsphotography.com/ ) for his post a while back about asking: it is how we improve our skills and develop the ability to shoot in any  environment.
