Pose for me boys...

Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 9 November 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

ALSO, thank GOD for my VISITORS, sometimes you straightened me out in your lovely, friendly fashion. Yesterday's shot shouldn't have occured, 'cause I could have startled him and he could have been hurt. So no more photos like that...BUT THESE, these guys knew what was happening LOL ;)
Thanks all, you're the best people in the world!

Barbara from Florida, United States

A woman in control with her camera what could be better except capturing this fun image of these two eager to pose. You are the star for this shot. Nice going Lorraine.

9 Nov 2008 11:51am

@Barbara: ACtually Barb when I first lifted my camera to them they both vehemently told me no photos, stay away. Seriously, so I just smiled and told the tallest one that I liked his hat, and that's what I was really shooting for, suddenly both very eager to have their photos taken...go figure ...;) thanks so much

Jasp from Plymouth, United Kingdom

At Tim Hortons too ... shorts ? in Canada in November ?... now that's got to be cold ! Do they realise they are famous now ?

9 Nov 2008 1:31pm

@Jasp: I told them they were, it warmed up a bit for a while, plus they're young, they can handle it lol

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

Great shot, Lorraine ........ and that guy on the left must have some of my Mike's genes! He wears shorts nearly year-round, but of course it IS a bit warmer here than in Canada! He's wearing slacks this morning as it's only 54F ... AND, we're going to church! <grin>

9 Nov 2008 1:44pm

@Judy: As if WE could get away with that lOL thanks so much dear Judy, it warmed up for a day or two, close to 17 degrees (that would be 64f...

JJ from Jersey City, United States

Great capture of the pair of them, I dont think the click of a camera shutter would scare anyone enough to fall so dont think there was any problem with yesterdays shot

9 Nov 2008 2:30pm

@JJ: It's very nice of you to say so JJ, thanks a lot :)

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

I like the attempt at a folksy cowboy hat. Gives him a goofy look.

9 Nov 2008 4:08pm

@Michael Rawluk: The reason why I wanted the photo was for the guy's hat lol thanks so much Michael :)

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

These guys are posers, who asked who? wait a minute the decor looks very familiar where you in brampton ? straw hat has got a twenty did you get a free coffee? I better stop with the questions.

9 Nov 2008 11:44pm

@JoeB: Hey Joe, better ask then think inappropriately, lol really not posers, 'cause when I first lifted my camera, they said no way, absolutely not. So I stopped, then I said to the guy to the left, 'I just like like your hat, i wanted a photo of your hat.' Once I said that, they became very enthusiastic lol Not in Brampton...not a free coffee..ask away, I'm very honest (most of the time ;) can't perjure myself now can I? Thanks for all your questions Joe!

marianne from Toulouse, from France, Italy

ah tous les mêmes, ces jeunes, ils ont un coeur tout tendre, et ils veulent jouer les "durs"
la tecktonik attitude !!!
le geste que fait celui qui porte le chapeau, l'index et l'auriculaire tendus, c'est pour chasser les esprits néfastes et bloquer leur impact !
mais dis moi, miss Lorraine, tu y vas souvent, dans ce charmant café ??
viiiiiiiiiiiiite un grand café et des croissants chauds, prends la commande, j'arriveeeeeeeeeee

10 Nov 2008 1:46am

@marianne: Tout à faire ma chère Marianne et à tous les jours, vite, dépêche, ton croissant au chocolat et ton café t'attend ;)

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan

:) Tres bon portraits de la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui.

10 Nov 2008 1:56am

@akarui: Ils sont beaux les jeunes lol Merci beaucoup Olivier :)

Walter from Watkinsville, United States

Well, I must say these two really seem to enjoy having their photo taken. As I take photos, especially of high school kids, there are only 2 groups. Those that want to be in the picture and those that do not. I do not think these two could be more relaxed about having their photo taken.

10 Nov 2008 2:21am

@Walter: It's surprising actually Walter that when I first lifted my camera to take their photos, they absolutely refused, they said no way, no photos. So I said 'Ok, I was just shooting for your hat, I really like your hat' for some reason, instant retraction, they said ok then shoot away and let me take a few, who can tell??? Thanks a lot!
