My mate @nucleartool sent me this free e-book about street photography and I thought i'd share it here -- it's a good read and has a lot of good practical tips, as well as more general guidance. It's written in a pretty informal style and has some great street shots in it. He focuses a lot on street portraits and while I prefer doing shots of people who aren't looking at the camera and he prefers the opposite, his photos speak for themselves!
I'm keen to try his ideas to put the camera on the ground to shoot shoes, etc., but I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of that one!
great link, thank you. when i started this project i hoped it would make me look at the world around me in a different way, but now it just makes me think "hmm i need to take a photo of something today". reading his words on training your eye is really interesting and i'm definitely going to give it a go :)
Danae I thought the book is very well written, and full of practical hints and exercises. I took this street shot (my first) this morning, and I am placing it here with some hesitancy. :)
Thankyou once again for sharing the info with the rest of us.
Nice one for the share @ukdanae ! Not sure I'd be comfortable doing like he does in his video clips he linked, but still, interesting read (even if it did take me six weeks to get around to it)

I was uncertain about the privacy issues because I know the laws vary in different countries, until I found a great 365 discussion ( http://365project.org/discuss/general/5917/privacy-rules-for-street-photography ) and I found a lot of helpful information
http://www.krages.com/phoright.htm and for Australia specifically ... http://4020.net/words/photorights.php and http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/Photographers_Rights,_General_Privacy,_and_Copyright_in_Australia
I was a lot more comfortable when I understood my rights, as well as those of the subject.
