I have really been finding my style here recently.

Or atleast I was...

I was producing photographs for like two months that I really loved! Little things that I was happy not even posting online. I was working towards several projects and it all just went screwy.

I haven't really photographed for months and I need a change. I love photographing little pieces of what was. Like a photograph of some discarded pants in an abandoned amusement park or an old building dripping with both context and ambiguity. I really need to get back into that and I want to start doing portraiture and create images of peoples lives like this.

The problem is I am coming from a landscape photography start. I am good at the still life photos but I am so shy. How do I approach people? Is it a bad idea to enter a building not very busy and try and start up a conversation with the owners? I dont know how to get into these habits and get comfortable with them. I did this thing where I randomized coordinates in my state and selected the closest town to go and visit it. I want to start there but need some tips on where to start this new journey. I feel this itch to create but I feel terrified to start as well.
