2004-07-30: I love taking pictures of people but find it hard to either approach people or take photographs without being noticed. So I find events where people expect cameras to be around an easy way to get some practice. This was taken at a celebration of Portuguese culture in Nathan Philips Square, a lot of people were taking photographs of friends and family taking part in traditional dress, and, while I'm sure I stood out like a sore thumb, I was able to get some shots I liked.

I can relate to those feelings. I'm a bit people shy and to then go up to people and direct a camera in their face isn't the easiest thing to do. But I'm trying to get over it ...
This shot turned out great! It's a very nice portrait.

Nice Portrait! I too can relate to your feelings. I'd love to photograph people. I guess it will come with time and experience. :)
