Very cool. Asking your subject to do the walk a few times is great. I think so many people would just let the moment go by... me included. But you had this amazing light, a great setting and you didn't let it go to waste. Good lesson and great shot!

Thanks Dan, if it's not happening, make it happen is my golden rule when shooting out and about.

I love the idea of consuming a bunch of junk to get some balance and accepting the creativity cycles.

I like it, and I like Xavi's answers. I don't do just one thing, either. it confounds people sometimes and makes it hard to build a helpful web site to attract people who might actually pay me for my work, but it's who I am.
