Thanks. Approaching strangers to pay complements and ask for portraits is not easy. First, I smile and attempt to make eye contact. If those overtures are not reciprocated, I move on, but if the response is positive, I say something nice about the outfit and mention the blog. Moo cards of former postings are most helpful here because someone can visualise her/himself as a subject. This far into the approach I rarely hear no. Always take multiple images and share them for feedback. If necessary, retake. Always thank your subjects. Hope this helps!
pretty cool blog. What do you do, just ask people if you can take their pic? I want to ask people, I'm just afraid they may think I'm some psycho.
