I could never walk up to a stranger and start a conversation and am very uncomfortable if someone tries to start one with me. I enjoy observing people and I sometimes do it with my Leica. Would my pictures be better some how if I could talk to the people? Any tips other than practice (I am working on that one) on how to improve your people pictures when you don't want to get involved personally with your subjects?
