Balloon Man

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. Balloon Clown

Just do what you do and don't worry about what people are thinking (you can't read their minds anyways :)
by the way I've been taking pictures in L.A. for a few years now and never had the notion people want to get paid when they are photographed...
why do you feel this way?

when they ask for money. maybe I look like a soft touch. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm looking forward to trying the transfer technique.

Those people dress up on Hollywood Blvd. make there living by charging for pictures taken of them. If you take their picture you should give them something or they may argue with you. However you are free to take pictures of anything you want as long you are not on private property and with in the law.

Welcome to the site Sweetlake. Hope you have a lot of fun here. Sounds like you take pictures in my part of the woods, maybe someday we'll run into one another.
