Go where the natives are friendly and just start shooting, a busy shopping street, a popular park, a funfair, a place popular with tourists, busy market. Don't be afraid to shoot and it will come to you. Noisy cameras have never bothered me but in some circumstances they can help. For many people it is a case of mind over matter, just don't think that all around you are looking at you, they are not.

BR> Bruce Davidson did street photography in, I think, the 1960's, in BR> Harlem with a view camera. It's about how you work, rather than the BR> equipment that matters. Bruce, with all due respect, but I am afraid you misunderstood me. I was asking for some practical, let me underline it, practical, advise. Perhaps I should've put word practical into my question. Of course, any tool that can take pictures can be used for any photographic assignment. But I am neither Bruce Davidson, nor it is 1960's, nor I intend to practice in Harlem, nor I have a view camera. My humble request remains... Please, could you give me some practical advise as to how to start in street photography? Thanks in advance (again). --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57 www.photosig.com/viewuser.php?id=38625
