talsit asked: Q: If you see someone on the street that you just have to take their photo for whatever reason, how do you approach them? What do you tell them? I find it very hard because I can't backup the "I'm a photographer" claim with anything more substantial than a couple of photos on my site.
How do you do it?

allmyfriendsarejpegs asked: Hello,
Do you ever get hassle with people who don't like your photos after you've shot them, and then don't want you to use/put them anywhere?

trangaroo asked: So I noticed you switched from the XTi to the 5d, how's that changed your views on digital photography/the pictures you now digitally take? Because sometimes people say that the camera could make the artist, is the 5d really something else?
Big Question of the Week
As it’s the 20th anniversary of Photoshop, I’m wondering:
Is photography better off for its creation?
I know it’s made a lot of things more convenient, easier, faster. But has it actually fostered creativity? Moved the medium forward?
I ask sincerely, not as a way of denigrating the program, but because I’m really not sure. The fact that it exists has made things...
fenrirlives-deactivated20101216 asked: Hey Lou,
2 parter. How do you find models to work with? And then how do you approach them about shooting with you/concepts of the shoot? Your work seems very free flowing and most of the models I seem to find want everything to be written in stone before the shoot.
