"Come on, smile why don't ya..."

This will be one of those things I add to over time as it's about that part of photography that no book seems to address and I need to keep notes.

1) Denver said it was in the way I approach them. When I was talking about Diane Arbus, who's intimacy is breathtaking and who I love , I become animated and alive. He says rather then start with, This is kind a weird but can I take your picture? I should step up to them excited like I am talking about Diane. I need to give them my joy not my fear.

2) Lately I think a business card would be useful. I imagine one with my contact information on one side and a picture on the other so that the card would be maybe 4x4. Also a small photo album with portraits and candids, five maybe.

3) I need to get organized.
