My Head vs. My Heart


Rushing out of the subway station on my way to school to do some work and I see a group guys. They looked like brothers.

They were beautiful....

I couldn't stop looking. Head turning in one direction and feet moving in the other.

My head is saying: "I need to get to school. 
But my heart is saying" "No! I should talk to them and ask if I can take pictures of them. All I need to say is: 'Hi! I'm an aspiring photographer and I write a blog. I think you guys are very good looking (cuz I don't think guys like to be called beautiful) and I would really like to take some portraits of you. I'll post them on the blog and you can feel free to take them and use them if you want...'
"nooooooo get out of this station and get to school"
"But I need to take pictures of the beauty in front of me"
"You need to sew!!! That shift dress won't be constructed on its own!"
"It would only take like 5 minutes. Besides, I always stop and take pictures of still life... why not people. I want to do people!!!!"
"SEW!!"
"PICTURE!!!"
"Shift dress!!"
"Portraits!!!"

They probably noticed me staring...
They probably saw me walking slow...
But, my head won and as I pinned my peter pan collar onto the facing of my dress, I imagined a beautiful black and white candid of the brothers...

Well...

Maybe next time. Because I really want to do portraits!!

I loved the story and was picturing the group of beautiful guys.lol You should take pictures of them next time or if you come across another nice set of guys. I hope they don't think you are hitting on them, some guys have crazy minds. Not get back to work on that dress, keep it up.
