Hi, Paul
I never, ever set up any photos. Never have and never will. What I do is
hang around long enough that I become part of the background and am
ignored. If you talk to the subject before the photo is made, the photo
will be posed. For the old guy in the park, I sat in one place, not moving,
for about three hours. At first, people mugged and posed for the camera but
I was very boring so they eventually forgot about me and my cameras. I have
several hundred photos of that guy because he reminded me of my father.
For the people standing in line, I stood across the street and waited until
nobody saw me.
The Central American photos are made after I have spent several days
sitting quietly in a corner.
Thanks,
Tina
