<p>A lot of good advice from good shooters here. But I think the best advice is to be aggressive and not be shy about going after the pictures you want. You can also pick a busy spot, put the camera to your eye, and shoot away as people enter the frame. I used that method for the following portfolio on a specific corner in the red-light district of Tijuana, Mexico.<br>
But after a while I gave up candid work because I found the people on the street way to fascinating not to engage them. And then I asked permission to photograph them. Check out my YouTube video of "street portraits" and see if this type of street photography appeals to you. Best of luck. -- Dick Sanders<br>
