Thank you for this article. Sorry for the delayed comment. Do you find that approaching people and their willingness to engage has changed with COVID, specifically when the cases are rising during a 'wave' of the virus?

I have to admit I've not been doing as much street portraiture because of all the masks, so I can't really see who is interesting to me. I hope to get back to it soon!

It's something I really want to do but have been so reluctant. Thank you for sharing a simple 'blurb' to help get us started. [gulp] ... I'm going to strike up some nerve and give it a try.
