DENIED!!!

I experienced one of the more awkward moments of my winter semester yesterday.

I was meandering through Alamance Crossing searching for subjects for our street photography assignment.  I wandered into Barnes and Noble, hoping to find interesting shots of people perusing the shelves of the store.  I came across a woman who had a focused look on her face, her arms crossed, and her weight centered on her right leg.  I thought it would have been an interesting shot, so I asked her if I had her permission to take the picture.  She looked around suspiciously for a few seconds, then promptly refused.  AWKWARD!!

I guess that’s just part of the game.  And we were warned that this might happen.  So I guess I shouldn’t be too concerned, but that certainly didn’t make me feel any better about it.  Oh well, today is a new day, which means more street photos to take and more subjects to creep out!
