from a bakery in Boston's North End

Nice. Making me starved.

Damn, several sessions shooting with you and I'd be as big as a house! And quite happy

Now I have to check the 'fridge for a snack

Mmmmm.... I hate to imagine the calorie count. If I lived near that shop I'd need a heavy duty immobility scooter to haul around my carcass....

My Dad's been bugging me to take him to Pizza Hut to try their Calzones. Don't think I will show him this picture. lol

It's a great family portrait .

Nice shot Scott. I have a couple of minor things for you. The line at the top isn't even, which should be a relatively easy correction for you. Also, in the lower left there is a shadow, which I would probably clone out. I wish the text weren't cut off, but there's not much that can be done about that now.

A question for you on something like this. Do you ask the owner to take a shot, or do you just do a quick grab? I've always felt a bit self-conscious about taking shots like this.

Thanks for sharing,
Mark

Well, these went over well!
Have to pick up another batch.

Hi Mark,
Appreciate your detailed observations and helpful suggestions.

It was a small bakery with friendly staff (owners?) behind the counter. I smiled at them, and they beamed proudly back at me. So I guess I got permission. Did the same thing in several locations in the North End, with only welcoming nods.
But I was down in Edgewater, NJ, across from NYC shooting images in a Japanese supermarket. And told to stop. Different folks, maybe just a different culture. It really took me by suprise to be told photos were not allowed. But why not?
