Thai Adventure

April 19, 2010
Here is an example of me having an idea but not putting all the thought and courage into it to make it come out as I had envisioned. This pig was left at this Thai restaurant for two months and I thought it would be cool to take pictures of it at a few places throughout the restaurant and blog about it's grand adventure. But then I got nervous about doing this and upsetting the owners/other diners and settled for snapping a couple of shots of it infront of his poster - which didn't turn out all that great but like I said I was scared to do more. So I let this really fun opportunity pass me by. In retrospect I think that the owners would have been totally okay with me following through on my dream (even if they thought I was a little crazy...) I mean they'd held onto the dang pig for two months - they must be somewhat understanding right?
Point is as regards photography I have to decide if I'm ever going to be bold, stepping up and whipping out my camera without fear or embarrassment or not because I don't think I'm going to get better unless I'm willing to do that.

I think if you were getting paid to do it you'd totally be ok with it! :D And hey, you took your thai adventure on Thom's birthday
