A crazy co-incidence happened. I was reading the Architecture in the travel photography and clicked on the ‘Old People’ article when I was sitting at Starbucks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Right when I finished reading this article this old lady started talking to me and everything thereafter went exactly how you have said in the article. She started talking to me, we made conversations and I asked if I could take a photo.

Thanks for your tips!

Interesting article & there is an awesome story. A crazy co-incidence happened when I was reading this article at Starbucks. I have put the full story on Flickr photo description.

I will try and use these trips and tricks more often for my pictures.

Happy 2011.

old monk : ) http://www.flickr.com/photos/singhangad/4864761211/in/photostream/

it was a cloudy day so I was on the look out for shooting portraits..the moment I saw him at the pier, I knew I wanted to take a picture of him and do a bw conversion on it!

Once he was on the boat to Wat Arun, I asked him if it was ok that I took his picture..he just nodded.

This photo was clicked in one of Mumbai's fishing villages, just a few minutes from where I live. The man was sitting on a chair in the porch outside his home, while his family members went about their routine.

Gambia 1998, so actual not a digital photo. Very strong back light so the young woman in the background has a funny shape. It’s not digitally processed at all.

I’m responding to the questions concerning getting permission of the photographed person.

If it is for personal use, no permission is necessary. However, if you expect to publish the picture as part an income generating venture (book or film) it’s always best to get permission.

I would suggest prepping a short release in simple to understand language, together with a translation of the text. You may wish to give a copy of the signed release to the person you’ve just photographed.

Consider phoning a lawyer at a publishing house in your state or country to make sure that your release comprises all the necessary provisions.
