I've lived in Maryland most of my life and been across the Bay Bridge countless times. Bucket list item achieved yesterday courtesy of an old journalism friend. I got to putz around under it. Such an iconic beauty. #photography #blackandwhite #baybridge #maryland

Be open and honest. Show genuine interest. Mention what attracted you to take their photo: their smile, what they are wearing, their vibe. Don't take it personally if they say no. I rarely get a no. It's electric once you get past your fear. Most folks appreciate the attention. And send a file after
