Last year i had half a role of film i needed to finish of and didn't want waste it so went out for a walk and asked people "Can you help me with my photography? i'm finished off a role of film, looking for colourful things and i was your (what stands out) can i photograph you?
Some people asked if i was making a movie, some said Fkoff but most said ye sure.
Dress smart.
People are the reason i don't street photography, they ether walk into a shot (i shoot mostly 35mm so that wastes a shot) and i think it's a bit creepy taking photos of people i don't know, i don't want people taking photos of me of my kids.
