Everything Street Photography

I love New York, but this guy just looks really cold.

Taken on blackpool promanade in january, rather cold and very quite. winter makes an ideal time to visit seaside resorts for photography.

This was in St. Louis near the Arch. I liked the reaction of the old(er) couple. Happy Valentines Day.

Street of Albi, where I spend one day.

Here's another shot of mine. I tried to go all BW for a day but went back to color part way through. I do like the shots in BW.

I'm new and looking for honest criticism. I took this in Hollywood on a Saturday and was amazed at the gentle way this guy worked with his balloons. I have to say I'm shy about getting in peoples faces with the camera. It's hard when half the people in LA seem to think you should pay them if you take a picture on the sidewalk. I'm not talking about posing someone with zorro or or batman, just shooting life as it unfolds. Any advice? I do smile and wouldn't dream of being rude.

I don't know if it's my computer causing black and whites to look blueish to me. So I wonder if black and whites look blueish to anyone else.
