I would love to do more "on the street" portraiture, but just get antsy about asking and/or taking the shot. But yesterday i feel i got lucky with it. I was out at an offshoot of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and found this older gent fishing. He had quite the setup, with a wagon full of what he needed to sit for while. Like you suggested, we talked for a while, and then i kept walking. On my way back, he was still in his spot, but quickly started packing up. I ended up helping him load his gear back into his old pickup truck, and finally asked if i could take his picture. He immediately stood more erect, and tilted his hat. So i grabbed this shot, adding my own effects. Would love to be able to do more of this, but i guess i just get too shy about it.
