Strangers on the street you've asked if you can take their picture

Before the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, 2004, this person just looked at my 4x5" Tech V with a big flash unit on top and posed--

I´m doing street for awhile now and don´t usualy ask strangers to take their pic. these are the only few pictures I did ask (out of appox 700 on my stream)

I found a tip I read very usefull to fondle with the camera untill they get bored and don´t make a photosmile anymore and then quickly snap the shot. works for me :)
sometimes a smiling pic up close is also really nice!

I often ask for permission to make a photo of people I encounter and like the results. People like to be photographed and, thus, readily show me who they are.

Respectfully, whatever else it may be, taking pictures of people without their knowledge is not, and cannot be, fraud. Fraud implies misrepresenting something, or oneself, for gain; intentionally failing to deliver what is promised; or cheating someone of something by deceit.
 
May I take your picture ???
