As I said people usually thank me for taking their picture. Some even ask how to pose, which I don't want them to do. I think treating people with respect goes a long way. I have never mentioned using images on the Web to anyone but have had people say I could take their picture as long as I did not put it on the Internet. Most all my street shots are in the inner city, I'm surprised at my success ratio also. - -- Robert McElwee www: http://www.mindspring.com/~romcelwee/leica.html email: romcelwee@mindspring.com
