Last week I took my first trip to Roanoke to shot around town. Lets just say I can't wait to go back! I went during lunch and a little bit after, and mostly I was trying to find where most of the foot traffic is around town. I will differently make it a point to shoot in Roanoke at least once a month since its so close.
I look forward to going up on a Saturday when people are out shopping, which is always easy picking. I also visited Gardin Village in Roanoke and defiantly want to swing by there on a weekend as well as Salem's downtown which was promising also.
I did see many gentlemen wearing suites and pulling them off like seasoned pros, and stunning ladies in their business best, but the unfortunately, they were at their lunch hour. I've been trying to figure out how I can shoot people while they are on the go without stopping them, and I think the normal walking around wont work for this. So the plan for my next Lunch time Roanoke trip is to set up camp at the busiest street corners (this is starting to sound dirty) and Just get them as they come towards me, or while they wait at the stop light. I think this will give me better numbers.
i sometimes do this. set up at street corners like a drug pusher and let them come to me.

lovely picture of the gentleman in the hat.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I LOVE Roanoke! What a treasure! It was the first time I had ever been there and it was soooo charming. Your pictures are great....I love the "man on the street" kind of blogs. Are people pretty agreeable to have their picture taken? ~Serene
