Attempt 1

Today I went to Manchester City center with my friend Adam with the purpose of interviewing a homeless person. It was early afternoon and we'd been walking for just under an hour when I spotted the first man that looked to be homeless, he was sat on a busy street on Oxford Road, begging for money. As we approached him, I got very nervous and didn't want to ask him if I could interview him because I was scared of the rejection...Yet I did pluck up the courage to do it and I went back and said ''Hi I'm a Salford University student and I'm doing a photography project on 'Society', I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about your life...? I'll give you a couple of quid for your troubles..?''...Yet the man said he didn't want me to so I walked away, forgetting to hand him some change, which I later on thought and felt bad about. This did knock my confidence quite a bit so I gave up for the day and told myself I'd have to try again another time.
