While taking this picture, a fellow photographer approached and asked what I was taking pictures of.
I said I wanted to take a straight-on shot of the rose window but didn’t want to plant my tripod in the middle of the great cavern.
He said, “But that’s what being a photographer is about. You shouldn’t be shy.”
I thought then he hit the nail on the head. I tended to be shy which is probably a more politically-correct term for a less than exemplary lack-of-character on my part when photographing people and places.
