I was recently hired to take some photos for the newish Salon 7 in Mankato, MN. These are the ones I liked the best.
Lili Payne is putting together a snazzy website for them and they were hoping to get some good photos for that and maybe some future marketing materials. These photos are so fresh that they haven’t even seen them yet. In fact, I’m putting them on a CD right now and mailing them out.
The shoot itself was a good time and the people were all really nice. Although, I would have liked to have spent a little more time just hovering about, taking photos of random things, I think I got a few decent shots that are worth using. I hope they like them too.

I understand the bit about “hovering” very well. Most shots I take are on the fly. With my little compact, no one would hire me, and no one would take me seriously. It feels awkward setting up shots that take time; while that is what I’d like to do sometimes.
But these are great. I really want to go there, and I suppose that’s what matters here.
Apart from the one you picked as the top one, I really love the clothes pegs.

Thanks Nils. I’ve never been much for setting up shots that take time either. I have done it occasionally, but it is usually in my house, so I don’t have to worry about anything. I guess that’s why I don’t really enjoy taking formal portraits and group shots very much–I’d rather capture a candid moment than posing and moving people about.
