Say Cheese ... Or Maybe Not.

I will say this right up front ... the words "Let me take your picture" make me cringe.  I am working to change my attitude about pictures, but it's not easy.

As an exercise to help me get more comfortable with this, I am publicly posting the photos that were taken of me during Hollywood Cemetery's rose work day a few weeks ago.  Some are okay, some are not-so-okay, but all of them appear to be true representations of my expressions that day.


Me with Mabel, one of the Hollywood staffers that I adore, before we got started.


Giving instructions to the group.  I can see the frustration on my face, as things were a bit confused while I divided the group into teams.


Group photo.  Can you find me?  Notice that I am distracted by something ... I guess my mind was elsewhere.


Richmond Rose Society members.  I'm okay with this one.  At least I was paying attention.


Photo + talking = awkward.


Last week, after my program at the Chesapeake Bay Garden Club, one of the members wanted to take a photo of me with the club president for their newsletter .  I was dressed professionally, and my hair and make up were done, but I still panicked a little inside.  I did it anyway, without protest or hesitation ... I'm getting better.
