last night i went to a lecture: The Nature of Photographs with Stephen Shore at Boston University. i ended up buying both of his books that they were selling and stood in line to have them signed. i’m much more of an introvert and get rather dorky when interacting with strangers and people i’m intimidated by. growing up i was so shy it almost hurt to be around people. i’ve since gained a much healthier amount of confidence. so when i was standing in line i thought wouldn’t it be great if i asked him if he would allow me to take his photo but i felt like i was that suffocatingly shy kid again and when my turn came i “dorked out” (as my husband says) and all i could say was thank you. way to go becca, way to go. so along with working on my photography skills i need to work on my interpersonal skills. the annoying thing is when you get to know me i can say more than i should but otherwise i’m the silent one.

Arno Rafael Minkkinen was there. i didn’t say hello but you should really check out his work if you’ve never seen it.
