Anakwa

Here's my usual method of snapping photographs of strangers: I ask, and if they say no, I thank them for thier time and mosey on. If they say yes, I shoot, say "thank you", get their contact information and mosey on. One recent day I came across Anakwa, a jounalism student from Ghana and he graciously let me photograph him. He told me of his recent purchase of a camera and asked for insight. His main question was "How do you get people to let you photograph them?" I replied "You tell me." We both bust out laughing. I showed him the picture, got his approval and then moseyed on.
