I think its interesting how many artists start learning by imitating other art they like.

Most art resources recommend you start drawing from life.

Maybe life was the original inspiration.

All this to say I saw a woman reading "The Girl In The Train" the other day and I wish I had the skill to sketch her because taking a photo seemed too creepy

fake it til you are comfortable with your skills and couragous enough to break new ground. i think it's a 'master study' in art school terms.

What does this mean

@geometryincarnate
bigger cameras are less creepy cuz you look like a professional, better if you have TWO big cameras.

@djm
The new question is what is creepier:

Taking a photo of a stranger with a phone or a DSLR.

Since something like a RED is out of my budget

phone is creepier for sure, who carries around a DSLR these days but "photographers"?
