Oh yea. But I'm much better than I use to be. I was painfully shy. I still don't talk a lot until I get to know people. Actually, it's one of the main reasons I went to street photography. It forced me out of my comfort zone. Then switched to event photography. That REALLY forced me to approach people more and talk to them. There is also a slightly different part of my personality that takes over when I have a camera in my hands. An extremely confident one. Don't know why, but the shy guy in me could never walk up to a dozen women and ask them to pose for a shot; the guy with the camera in his hands doesn't hesitate a bit. You can probably even see that in my posts. That side of me that worries about shoots and stuff before the fact and then that part of me when I get to the event or into the studio. shrug I can live with it. It's almost like being a superhero with a secret identity. :) hehehe POW!
