In 1936, Dale Carnegie published what may have been the first popular self-help book, How To Win Friends and Influence People. He provided all sorts of tips, mostly quite sensible, and the book went on to sell 15 million copies worldwide. I, however, have a simpler suggestion. Wear a big DSLR around your neck and go to places where people congregate. Someone is bound to come up to you with a small point-n-shoot and ask, "Excuse me, please. Would you mind taking our picture?" They assume you know what you are doing.Hopefully, you do. That's how I met Mallory, Cami and Alisha, three friends from St. Louis who were on an excursion to the Arch on Sunday afternoon. These charming young ladies had me take their picture with their camera and then let me take one with mine. Hope they like it.
TOMORROW: Along the Mississippi.
BY THE WAY, for any of you who found yesterday's post of interest, scroll down and read the text I added in the afternoon. It's a short but tender memoir by someone who knew the old building well.
