I'm a landscape photographer and shooting people taught me wo much. In landscapes, I have all the time I need to line up the shot, move half an inch to the left, half an inch down, but with people you have maybe two seconds to line up and take the shot. You have to talk to them, the way they react to you makes you part of the shot.

The shade being thrown at "Online Photographers" needed to be said. Too many ppl are worried about being famous instead of properly learning the craft of Photography.

Hello Marc (and Dan). I enjoy the conversations between you two gentlemen. I grew up in Pebble Beach, by the way, and on a recent visit to the Peninsula, I photographed the owners of Lafayette Bakery in the "Barnyard". Whilst sitting at a table enjoying coffee and quiche I spontaneously asked if I could take some shots of the owners at work. No problem. I don't want to analyze my technique in approaching strangers with a camera, because it works. And Dan is right, if you promise to send your subjects a print, do it, because it builds trust in photographers and it's the right thing to do.

how can we see Dan's works? He has some books on Blurb that I all bought, but I think he has more...

[GregSamborskiPhotography]

Thank you for this. Exactly what I needed for an upcoming project.

There is always a person in photography, at least the photographer itself. You see the photographer in the work they create. Araki says photography is copying yourself on something else or somebody else. Interesting standpoint IMO.
