>>241219 >True that, but taking the pictures without being a dick is an art form in itself... Or you could go the Bruce Gilden route and just be a dick
>>241220 >if youre not a complete jerk, most people are okay with having their picture taken. just smile a lot and if anything, they're usually be flattered or indifferent. Note that the rules are different for you than for most 4channers. People are a lot more comfortable with cute girls taking their pictures than ugly nerds.
(Unless I'm misremembering that you're a girl. Or you're a really hideous one. Both of which are certainly possible. But I think an ugly chick still would have an easier time with in-your-face street photography than most guys)
>>241085 Op, go buy or borrow some books of photographs. Not like books ON photography--the important thing here is to look at other people photographs, not to learn how to set your aperture and futz with photoshop. Flickr's explore page is good for this too. Look at other people's pictures and you'll start to recognize that a lot of the interesting things they're taking pictures of are really fairly mundane things shot in interesting ways.
Always have your camera on you. Look in your local indie papers for interesting events happening and go take pictures at them. Do a picture-a-day project. Shoot fucking everything. Eventually you'll learn how to spot things that make good pictures.
