As a student, I went shooting alone in some of the most 'dangerous' immigrant districts in Brussels. As I entered the streets, some of the older residents advised me not to go walking around with a camera; but I went ahead and had a great time. People came up to have their picture taken, I was invited in pubs, tearooms and homes. Later I heard of some friends that were afraid to go there all by themselves, so they decided to go shooting pictures in groups of 4 or 5... they were all beaten up, had their cameras taken and thrown on the ground... I'm still wondering if I was just lucky, or was it all a matter of attitude..?
