To encounter people on the street and photograph them with their permission. Getting over a fear of people is stangely difficult for some of us. In this case I was at a local fair and I noticed this young woman with fairy wings! I decided to confront my fears so I stepped up and said," Excuse me, but may I take your picture?" Then in a flash of, gee wiz you want to take my photograph? her face flushed, she nodded yes and turned her body to better reveal her wings. I shot, thanked her and then floated on air for a day having overcome my own fears. The photo is not great, but I shall cherish it forever as a momento of the day that I stopped fearing people and got on with my life. So it goes up for my PAW 28. A heartfelt thankyou to the group for providing a supportive forum. Next week, vertical bowling on steroids. You won't believe it but there ARE crazier hobbiests than LUGERS. http://home.earthlink.net/~johnbohner/analog/paw/index.htm Thanks John Bohner
