It took me a long time to take photos of people. I really try not to take portraits though. 😀 😀

Excellent examples. I love the women’s attire in that first image and the tattooed man, dramatic.

I took that photo because of the women’s attire. 😀 😀 I like the tattooed man too. 😀

I have become more wary since the new law in Europe (explained in my post) but I love your photos.

It used to be like that in the US, but not anymore. It maybe more so if I intended on selling my photos, but I don’t.

I find it difficult to take pictures of people but I try not to capture them in an identifiable way, like here:

I try to do that too. But obviously by my last photo, it’s not a strict rule I go by 😀

That requires guts! I am always wondering what if the person looks at me and asks what am I doing 😂

I’ve actually had a couple people catch me and they all made bigger smiles for me. It helps I take most of these with my zoom lens. 😀

Only my first shot in this post applies since Lorraine and Melissa in the second shot very much know I’m taking a photo 😅 – https://2e0mca.wordpress.com/2023/05/17/the-girls-just-wanna-have-fun/ Love your selection Cee 😎👌

This is true, but I still think it fits. It was a spontaneous act and not necessarily a posed photo 😀

Unlike some of your challenges, this was one for which I have a lot of pictures, but they are in a lot of places and WordPress does not retrieve anything well. But I found most of what I was looking for.
Your pictures are so bright and lively. Lots of orange and red and other bright colors. And so many interesting subjects. There’s a lot of “stuff” going on in your area. Not so much around here.

Canby is an active little town, but some of these were taken at different places 😀

They were interesting. We don’t have a lot of interesting stuff going on around here, at least not at the moment. The last interesting thing was the construction of the old church into a small museum. Everything else has been roadwork.
