The few people who ask to have their photographs with me, I almost always say yes, except for a few circumstances, like when my family is around.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think when people see photos of you out and about in your personal life, they assume that you've asked for it or that you want that attention, but I don't think anyone in their right mind asks for that kind of thing.
Because of who I am, people ask for photos. I can't just say no to everyone.
Certainly, people feel awkward when they have their photograph taken. They want to see it, but they don't want to see it.
I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.
I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
I know the families that I photograph extremely well, and I've known them for a very long time.
Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me.
I still like to walk around and take photographs, but it's hard to do that if a lot of people are looking at you.
I say no to photographs. When people take my picture, I feel like they've taken a piece of me, and I can't get that back. It's soul-draining.
You get a lot of people requesting photographs but I tend to keep myself to myself, pull my cap down.
