Default Have You Ever Been Asked
Can I take a photo of you? The wife and I were sitting in Bronco Billy's Bar and Grill in Sisters Oregon yesterday having lunch. I noticed a patron walking around taking photo's of the decor of the establishment. Being somewhat curious, I had made eye contact with the photographer on a couple of occasions. Eventually, that person walked over and asked to take my picture as I seemed to fit well into the theme of the place. Not sure how exactly since I wasn't wearing western theme attire. After thanking this person for asking first, I agreed and she shot away. Just curious if any of you have been asked by a complete stranger to be photographed?
On a side note, the photo taken turned out very nice and the person offered to send me a print. Very thoughtful and much appreciated. You never know when a complete stranger will enter your life for a few brief moments and surprise you with something completely unexpected.

Yes, I have, when I was in Venice at the carnival with masks. A few of the people were considerate enough to ask, whether my girlfriend and I would pose for them. Though most just snapped away.

In the end, it makes no big difference, it's just a nice gesture. On the other hand, by asking one has the chance to meet interesting and strange people.

Last person who wanted to shoot me was my ex wife. She probably would not have asked.
