No, you have to blend in. Go humbly in a bus and be patient and win the trust of the people first. It sounds romantic but it is actually slow and sweaty and not glamorous at all.>>> Hi Kari, How true!!!!!!! When you are there, "but not there" and you become invisible with the people you are trying photograph, that's when the truly moving images are taken. But an assitant automatically gives you away and you are visible as though you had a red neon flasher on top of your head. Better the assistant drops you off a mile down the road and you quietly come along alone. ted
