B.D., you hit my point from the rear.  Photographing people is all about the
photographers attitude.  If you are calm, seem knowledgeable, appear to have
a purpose, most people will in fact let you snap away.  You've seen my sorta
a week pix, there are pictures of all kinds of people(OK no goth girls :().
Most people just want to be reassured that the image isn't going to be
derogatory or abuse them.

Your point about being a poor working photographer having to shoot normal
people and doing it to eat is my point, with motivation it can be done.
