Being a little of a street photographer myself I admit at times it is easier (for me) to use my gear in dubious places if I've had a wee-bit of drink. And I'd be shooting from the hip anyway. I don't advise anybody to become an alcoholic in order to get a picture - but then I presume I haven't become one yet (oh yes, I've done much less street photography lately). Martin Hi Steve. I am just curious, as I have never been a brave sort to take these kinds of photos. How does one go about getting this kind of shot? Does one offer money as obviously he probably has a hat of sorts for donations. Do you offer him a copy of the print? I know there are all kinds of musicians around the Pike Place Market in Seattle, one of my favorite places to visit when I am there, and they are "begging" me to take their photo, but I never have the nerve to shove a camera in their direction. I guess I just lack what it takes to be a "street photographer". Aram This message is made of 100% recycled electrons. No new atoms were destroyed in making this message.
