What are your experiences when taking travel portraits?

[@teacherdude]

The tip about letting people enter your personal space is absolutely true. Often people think you're photographing something else and ignore you. Again, this depends on where you are and the idea of 'personal space' varies widely.

Bravo! Thanks for sharing Ira and his refreshing insights on travel and documentary photography. What a cool dude and inspiring photographer!

My 1st was a brown plastic Brownie that used 127 size film. I had a Yashica Mat too. Good camera for the price. "A little dumb": The Colombo effect.
