Photographer…. Stalker…. Details, details.

Taking pictures of random strangers.

Candid shots. Private moments. Whispers of time discretely captured with a single push of the button. How cool is that?

But me? I’m a chicken. “What if I get caught? What if someone gets mad?”

Buck Buck Buck!

So guess what I did while wandering the grounds of Whalehead Club this Fourth of July? I mustered up my courage and went in to full stealth mode. (Much to the dismay of my daughter, who mumbled the word “Stalker” more times than I can count.)

Photographer…. Stalker…. Details, details.

The pictures? I love them! Here are a few of my favorite stalker moments, captured at Whalehead Club in Corolla, NC.

This is one of my favorite pictures. What was he crying about?

A quiet moment with Dad and Daughter.

A not so quiet moment while dad helps his crying son.

This was the hardest shot for me to get. I had to wait for her to take a bite without calling attention to myself. With patience came success!

Her brother has seen this trick before.

When I showed my son this picture, he told me I should get an email from the couple so I could send them the shot. Sheepishly, I approached them and said, “I just got a perfect photo of you (STALKER!)…. Would you like it?” As the young woman turned, I saw a) she was a ginger and b) she had an expensive camera on her hip. I breathed a sigh of relief.

What? Me worry?

Finally, my moment of FAIL. Notice the crab trap stuck to the propeller? Definitely picture worthy. In my great excitement, I jumped up and started snapping. A few of the family members started to wave at me. BUSTED. My own family? Mortified.
