Planning Photoshoots

One of the biggest challenges that I have discovered with photography is figuring out what to shoot. Several months back I went to a park and started shooting pictures and then shortly realized that it seemed a little freaky that I was shooting pictures of people that I don't even know. I mean, thank God no one said anything. I don't know what I would have said if someone had. However, since that experience I have been a little bit more aware of the importance of planning where to go to shoot, and since I love animals, I decided yesterday that I would purchase 2 year round passes to the San Diego Zoo for Rudy and myself. I am so excited, these passes allow us to get into the Zoo and the Wild Animal Park as many times as we would like for the next 12 months. WOW!!!! Now I am planning when we are going to go. I think maybe 2 weeks from today - I know that doing both parks in one day is a little much, so I am looking forward to actually planning another day where we will visit the park that we don't visit on our first venture out. Taking pictures of people is fun and I do look forward to shooting more people, but I think at least for now i ought to shoot only people that I know. I mean, I don't think I want to be known as that "freaky" lady with a camera-:))
