@Nick: i just take pictures,i hardly have the chance to buy anything cuz i have been chased out within minutes.hah ! that was their loss for not doing business with me,just because of this little misunderstanding,sigh.

I'd go straight and take a picture of the slurpee. How I often dream of an ice cold slurpee at work. *sigh*

The tag would be a nice touch. Let me know where you are going so I can take a picture of you with the tag. ;)

@ling: lol...i think the tag isn't that effective,i think i would make that declaration as i walk and take pictures,LOL.....

@Babul Bhatt: ya,i afraid that as times goes on,we the photographer would have to pay tax or fees if we want to take certain photos at the outside.
Thanks for liking my shots,Babul :D

I would love to know how you guys approach shooting people? I have seen countless examples in my head that would be great streetshots, but never had the courage to just pick up my camera and shoot. Please advice: josef [AT] fotografiker [DOT] se

Great shot. Sometimes tension adds to art. A cat and mouse game. You're a good mouse.

Its amazing the paranoid attitude that is taken by some people when we start taking photos. It almost seems to be a crime to shoot pictures. Sometimes a smile can defuse a hostile situation.
