I regret I forgot her name.  She had an interesting story to tell me after I asked her if I could take her photo.  She was born in Jersey City but moved to Asbury Park with her family when she was just two years old.  She's now 94 years old. 94 years

[Jorge Quinteros](http://folio.jorgeq.com/profile) has been steadily perfecting his street photography.  In a [recent post](http://folio.jorgeq.com/post/30629628276/miguel-peralta-jackson-heights) he mentioned that he had reached the point where he felt he could not longer write just about his techniques.  He felt he had said all the needed to say on that topic and now he now wants to write about the subject of his photos — getting to know them more intimately.  I applaud his efforts and his post started me thinking about my own photography.

I love the journalistic aspect of street photography — I live in the suburbs so “street” means something else here[^1] — but I always feels weird pointing my camera at strangers on the street.   I don’t think I have the confidence for that.  I always think the Princeton police will show up to arrest “that creepy black guy with the camera”.

I guess I have to overcome my discomfort in pointing the camera at a person.  I’ll start practicing on my family first.

[^1]: Princeton is nearest town that offers a “downtown” and an opportunity for street photography.  Most town around here have no town center. Week 35 - Portraiture
Bhavna's cousin Sameer and his wife Gina (center) are expecting their first child.  The entire extended Raval family met-up to celebrate over food, lots of gifts, and silly games.
