nothing like flickin a random person, its kind of a rush you don't wanna get em to see you because then it'll defeat the point of it being candid but when they do some don't mind.

Regarding the photographing of strangers:

 

1. bring a little photo album with you of your portfolio, and show it to strangers. right your email on a bunch of pieces of paper and hand it to them, asking them to contact you and you will send the print/image.

 

2. if you are looking for 'candid' shots, either use a zoom lens (2-300mm, etc.), or learn how to shoot without looking through the viewfinder/screen.

 

3. you will get better images by looking for interesting moments, approach the person and tell them who you are/show them your portfolio. Then, hang back and wait for them to start to ignore you again. It takes time, but if you ask someone to photograph them and immediately go ahead, you are not going to get 'natural' moments.

 

4. Don't use your iPod. You need all your senses, and a huge (slept-on) characteristic necessary for street photography is one's ability to be charismatic. Everyone loves to talk about how they wish they were invisible, etc., but it is much easier to enter situations where the people feel comfortable with you and your camera, rather than pretending that no one knows you are there.

On point Mayor. I was in Harvard Sq. (T) and saw this guy jammin on his guitar, another at DT Crossing playing the trumpet. Was tempted to ask but couldn't think of an approach. Thanks for that though.
