Made another shooting run through the city today. I'm really digging people over flowers.

Excellent shots all, mike. That yer new 85 1.4 I assume? The tones and colors really suit daytime street shooting. Like I said, excellent - keep it up, I wanna see more!

Mike,

How do you approach people like that? Do you ask their permission or just snap away? I'm usually too embarrassed to ask or take the shot with people I don't know.

Thanks,

Very nice...that is probably more enjoyable that most would think. Everyone should get out and give it try.

Thx! Yes it's a great experience. It depends on the situation, sometimes I'll ask and sometimes I'll just snap away. I don't try to be sneaky or anything though so people are aware that I'm taking their picture. For the most part they don't mind.

Interesting story on #1. It was a show and the performer noticed me taking pictures of the audience and started teasing me in front of the crowd, saying I really should be taking pictures of him instead. Then he jumped into the audience, saying this is prob the only way he's gonna get his picture taken. We all had a good laugh and he cheesed for me a couple times through the show.
