I'd just like to ask you all, but especially those of you who have posted or taken pictures of this nature; If you see someone in the street who is, shall we say, interesting, (a musician or pavement artist, or big guy with really mean dog etc), how do you go about getting a photo of them? do you usually: a) snap and say nothing / run when they shout at you? b) ask first and lose the spontenaity? c) snap then ask them if it was ok to do so? d) snap and then offer them money? (not an option for me!) I really feel intimidated by this, and have missed several good opportunities - one especially was an old homeless guy on the street who had SUCH character to him. I mean, being a total amateur I look nothing like a photographer (no big camera / bag over shoulder etc) and my digital camera (even though it cost some) looks like a normal cheap auto-focus 35mm to most people. This really is becoming an issue for me, so please help?!?
