Whenever possible, I do ask - but the problem with that is that you only get 'posed' unnatural photos. She isn't in the first photo I took of the building, but came to the window when the bus drove past, so I concluded that she didn't mind being seen and photographed by a tourist.Susan A Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216267529948378488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369429383948592696.post-52122463252993071932017-04-01T08:37:59.217+01:002017-04-01T08:37:59.217+01:00It's a powerful photo but I don't like to ...It's a powerful photo but I don't like to intrude on people's lives.
