A day at the park over the weekend was nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was with “Sarah and Jeremy”<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>my new photography friends. They taught me so much. Things like – knowing when and when not to take pictures of a bride and groom. Especially when their photographer is taking shots. I couldn’t resist this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This guy was with the “Hare Krishna” group. I forced him out of his tent<\/del> told him I was in a photography class and asked if he would kindly let me take some shots of him. He gladly left his tent and stood where I asked him to stand. What a nice guy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This gent is playing a didgeridoo. It’s quite the instrument.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I was in my own world, shooting the man playing the\u00a0didgeridoo, this little girl was standing in front of me wanting her picture taken.<\/p>\n

I had no clue. But when my friends\u00a0“Sarah and her hubby”<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>filled me in, you have no idea the utter joy I had taking shots of her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So this (face painting) lady (wearing a Hello Kitty hat and a Hello Kitty ring) was giving Sarah’s hubby an attitude for taking her pic. Yup, I caught her attitude on camera. Funny thing is, he was getting grief for taking her pic and here I was snapping for the same reason she was scolding him.<\/p>\n

Then she asked him for some money in exchange for shooting her. He was really nice and gave her (I’m sure) more than she expected.<\/p>\n

Then she offered to paint his face.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the final product. Great job! May I add he had to be the most patient guy allowing the Hello Kitty lady with an attitude to paint his face.<\/p>\n

You should have been with us at the Starbucks (after our afternoon in the park) Downtown San Diego. Jeremy got heads to turn. P.S. He counts as a stranger as I just met him that day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here we have “elf on a shelf” er “Santa’s Helper”. He’s the caricature dude. He was all set up right next to the Hello Kitty face painting lady.<\/p>\n

And somehow he conned Jeremy into a caricature drawing with his new and improved face paint.<\/p>\n

Here’s the elf on a shelf is directing Jeremy to give the primal face expression to go with his new face paint job. This shot just cracks me up. Guess you had to be there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this wraps up my final exam shots. The last six shots in black and white are the ones I’m using for the exam.<\/p>\n

I hope it goes well.<\/p>\n
