I've realised I should upload the previous images from my "100 Strangers" series, originally loaded to the 'other site'. What follows are my original comments: I wandered down the foreshore at the Bay as the sunset faded and eventually found myself on one of the jetties, where I met Vicki. She was visiting from Victoria and was fishing with a friend and his teenage son Steven. After some yarning about photography and fishing, Vicki kindly allowed me to interrupt her fishing, even though the flathead were biting ... Thank you Vicki, and I hope you pulled out several more. This also was my first chance to test the new fold-up mini softbox I'd fitted to my flash. Although I was fairly happy with the result, I feel I need more practice using it. I also photographed Steven, but then found he still is a minor. When I mentioned this, his Dad gave his approval to take Steven's photo: only after returning home have I found that for Steven to be included in the "100 Strangers" group, the rule is that his Dad would also need to have been in the shot. So the photo is uploaded, but just not in the F****r group pool: and I've made a mental note to 'get it right' next time. This picture is 04 in my 100 strangers project.

I had uploaded this previously, I'm now moving it forward in my photo stream as it belongs with the "Stranger portrait 04:100" of Vicki which I have just uploaded. I wandered down the foreshore at the Bay and eventually I found myself on one of the jetties, where I met some people enjoying an evening's fishing. One of them was Steven who promptly caught a flathead. After chatting to him for a while, I asked about taking his portrait. I had proposed to add it to a F****r portrait group, but found on my return home that the photo failed to meet that group's rules (because he still is a minor, his Dad also needed to be in the shot - and although approval was obtained, that wasn't considered adequate ). I added the shot to my photo stream regardless and, in any case, we're now on a different site. Thanks anyway Steven, and I hope you caught more fish after I left.
