Happy New Year

Well, it’s that time of year again. The new year is upon us and we all feel the urge to make resolutions we can’t keep. The last thing I want see when I go to the gym is a photographer walking around trying to take my picture. This was a tough assignment. As I walked around looking for a subject to photograph I could hear the voices in their heads “Don’t you dare take a picture of me!”
So instead of photographing the little old lady on the leg machine, I went for the young kid trying to bulk up for summer beach season. What really helps is always smiling and approaching people with a hello. But sometimes that doesn’t work and you resort to Plan B. Take a picture from behind and run like crazy!
