OK, I met a very nice, sweet and attractive Starbucks barista that had a beautiful face a couple days ago when I got some coffee. I was so captivated that I mentioned it to her and she thanked me. Later I got to thinking that I would love to get some portraits of her. I don't do portraits much and I can always use a reason to improve in that area even if they are just a few quick shots.
So my question to those of you that shoot "Street & City" shots of strangers and the general public is... Would starting a "Post your favorite Baristas!" thread be a good idea? How does this sound? Is it creepy? Or does it sound interesting and fun?
And assuming that it's a good idea, share some tips for how to best approach a Barista to ask them? I guess it doesn't have to be that awkward but it never hurts to have some advice ahead of time.
