Pictures of strangers

I want to take more pictures of strangers. There's something so exciting about approaching someone and asking to take their picture. And it's even better if they're super nice too ;) I'm loving these photos by Nirrimi (well actually any photo she takes is amazing, really) of strangers.

Sometimes I see some really beautiful girls when I ride the train and am itching to take their picture, you know, totally not weird/creeper/stalkerish, right? haha ;) But then I hold myself back for some reason and shyness gets the best of me. Then I'm left kicking myself for not getting their picture. So that's my goal now: take pictures of strangers.


(this person didn't even know she took her picture! i love candid pictures)

Have you ever taken pictures of strangers before? I have a few times, awhile ago though. And it's actually really fun! The hardest part is getting the courage to approach them, and after that, all initial apprehensions seem to melt away.
