Average man on the street? I am constantly amazed at how quickly people comply when I ask them if I can take a picture. So far, no-one has asked for an explanation nor for the address of my blog, if I explain to them what I'm doing. Perhaps I just look harmless?? Trustworthy??

You probably do look trustworthy, especially with a camera in hand. But I think people are also flattered.
ReplyDeleteI like this. I took a somewhat similar picture while at a stoplight June 10th. My guy didn't have a big flag on his back, but he did have other interesting stuff. http://alexandriadailyphoto.wordpress.com/2006/06/10/biker-patriot/

ReplyDeleteI agree with Marie, i think most people are simply flattered.
ReplyDeleteI have never been told off when I asked somebody to take a photo of them, yesterday I even had a smile from the pizza man, the waiter thought I was from newspaper, funny because my camera is tiny.
ReplyDeleteNice shot.
