How To Do Street Photography?

from Todd Frederick (fredrick@hotcity.com)
I have been doing photography for about 45 years. Most of it being rock and tree photography. Rocks and trees don't hit you. Very safe. I am truly longing to get into street photography but I am just too shy and timid...translation: scared shitless!

Two questions:

1. Can anyone who is really experienced in this provide some tips...equipment, how to approach people, hiding behind bushes or up front and personal?, do you tip your subjects, and all those kinds of things.

2. I live in the San Jose CA area (South San Francisco Bay Area) and I would really like to link up, as a shadow, to someone in my area for a day or two, just to observe and be a pack horse...any serious takers on this...I really want to learn by observing?
