A Shy Photographer on Maui. {3 of 3]

I recently went to Hawaii with a group of friends. It was a wonderful time, but being a guy who enjoys Photography, I would wander alone taking pictures of Sea Turtles, birds and flowers. One afternoon I decided to push my comfort zone and go for a walk down the beach and ask total strangers if I could photograph them. My only criteria was there had to something about the individual that attracted me. I had 7 takers and no rejections which surprised me. This is Randy, an Army vet living out of a van and Nick's partner and Barbara a lovely woman who I know nothing about except I was drawn to her sad or tired looking eyes.

After making my pitch, if I got a “yes”, we would chit-chat a bit. I would then take a few photographs which I showed to them and asked if they’d like digital copies. If they said yes, most did, I gave them my contact information. So far I’ve heard back from and returned photos to 5 subjects and everyone has been happy with the results.

Thanks, Charlie.
Loved the climate. I’d go back some day, but living on an island is not for me.
