Yesterday I had been outraged by a new law supposedly passing in the UK - this was soothing to my wee soul.

I started out as a street photographer in Tokyo. So my tip for being a street photographer post 9/11 is to move to Tokyo! No one bats an eye there as you photograph anyone on the street, or anything in any train station. I stood in plain site photographing trains come in, the conductors, etc. No trouble. Now that I am back in the U.S. and living in a city of 250,000 people, my street photography pursuits are pretty much limited to festivals and other such public events. I can second the tip of to smile and appear friendly, that goes a long way to being a good street photographer I think. It was easy for me to do that because few things are more fun to me than walking around with my 80-200mm lens on and searching for something in the crowd. If you realize photographing someone is making them uncomfortable, definitely stop. If someone waves your lens off, definitely stop as well. Some examples of the type of street photography I was able to do in Tokyo can be seen here, if you are curious: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasoncollin/sets/72157611272271782/ Street photography is, personally, my favorite type of photography.
