Inspiration From Refrigerator Photos

Stumbleupon sent me to another pot of gold at ten o'clock last Thursday. I was "stumble"-ing exclusively photography when they sent me here. I got a kick out of this photography collection featuring open refrigerators. A very neat little picture show. There's no button to share, and I don't want to infringe on any copy rights, so you'll have to click on the link to check out the pictures. 


A photography stunt I've wanted to try for a while is just asking random people "Hey! Could I take your picture?" and seeing who'd let me. Something also taken from the internet, but sadly I don't remember where exactly. It was a while ago. I'm going to do some digging. The photographer that pulled this stunt had a neat little display of a whole bunch of people they'd asked to take pictures of. They set up a background- a piece of yellow poster board hung up onto an alley wall. They even gave people who said yes a candy cane. :) Something pretty neat that I still want to try.  (Boom! Found it! Click here for link)

This is a different site that offers some tips.  Such as:

—be polite and friendly. Here are some good pointers to help you along:

- Look for people dressed interestingly, or that have a particular great feature.

- Compliment them, mentioning that feature.

- Be aware of your location, to create the best photo that you can.

- Your subject will obviously ask to get a copy of the photo when it's done, so be ready to exchange contact info.

- Try to get the right exposure, and shoot quickly.

They also mentioned a "Photo Safari," which I googled and now believe to refer to a small, hands-on photography class where you go out with a few people and an instructor and take pictures. 


I'm not really a photographer, but this actually sounds like a fun time to me! :) Someday, I'll post pictures of it on here, but it'll be in the distant future.
