I've been writing this blog since 2005. I have had a number of content specific blogs in the past, but decided in 2013 to consolidate them all back into PJMixer. You'll find photo projects, movie reviews, new music and general thoughts about my life.

The Hilton's inviting glow
As I was setting up this shot I noticed an official looking gentleman approach, so I quickly asked if it ok to take a shot before he had a chance to say something. He was a security guard and we struck up a nice conversation as I was waiting for my boss and head out for dinner. We talked about photography, the hotel and his job. He didn't have a big problem with me taking a few shots as long as no guests were in the shot. But I didn't push my luck and only took two shots using my new Pod beanbag to support the camera on a flat ledge. I asked him if I could take his photo to add to my stranger project, but as expected he was on duty so he wasn't comfortable with it - but said he'd easily say yes if we met on the street.
