This evening, my photography class went down to Volunteer Landing on the Tennessee River to shoot some models in night shots.

The problem was, not many models showed up and it was getting too crazy for me. So I wandered down the river a bit and fell into conversation with young Nick Johnson. He was just hanging out with his buddy and told me he was interested in photography. I asked him if he would model for me - why not? - and he agreed. He was pretty jazzed about this picture - and yeah, I got his email and sent him a copy.

I am so shy about talking to strangers . . .
