I'm in the same boat here! I always feel like I'm invading peoples space and it makes me VERY hesitant to take these type of pix. With all the stuff happening in the world...alot of people are on edge and this makes it harder to "blend in" (IMHO). I haven't attempted the "have a brew and shoot" technique described above. Do ya think DONUTS would work!?!?! BTW...that dude with the shades in the 2nd pix looks pretty intense! Looks like he wouldn't take no BULLSH#T!!!!
