1. Cool photos! I really like the cityscape through the fence and the first one

2. I'm pleased with the last one, because it's the first picture I made with the Canon60D.

3. You certainly have been posting some very interesting photos.

Quick question. Do you ask permission to photograph your subjects?

4. All depends on where and when.

Some pictures posted from before 2010 were totally candid, and I seldom asked for permission. Some are work product, so permission was implicit. They knew they were going to be in a picture.

Present pictures, where people are recognizable, I generally ask either before or after. Only two examples in what has been posted so far where I have not asked either before or after.
It's a tough call, particularly as I'm in France, and people can get 'shirty' when having a picture taken. Though, since I don't make pictures for commercial use, I'm on slightly firmer ground.

5. Yes, it's always a bit iffy when doing street photography.

As photographers, we don't want to insult anymore.
