[AGL] homeless

[Frances Morey]

I paid "street models" in New Orleans who would dress up in elaborate costumes just for the purpose of being photographed for tips. Yet shooting the homeless seems intrusive and tacky. "May I take a photo of you in your most miserable state of homelessness?--I'll pay you"
I love the lyrics from a friend of Mike's who wrote a song, "Welcome to Selena Christi", this snippet is one of my favorite lyrics. Reminds me of a homeless person's sentiment.
"I live right here on Primrose,Come on down to visit,I don't charge admission,I'm not an exhibit."
Best,Frances

 Bull. I offer them money. You have to have a dialog. Couple of bucks a shot, worth it for their cooperation. Otherwise, get a long lens and treat them like wildlife.

  photos taken surreptiitiously. hight of rudeness to go slumming
 with a camera right in their face - and risking a punch in the face
 
 remember what happened to Robert Capa!

 Remember what Robert Capa said, "if your pictures are not good enough, it's because you're not close enough."
