Show us how YOU would say it first. You have stated many times on JF that you know some Japanese.

Well, "photo" is "shashin", "you" is "anata", "please" is "onegai shimasu", and I don't know what can I is so i'm going to go with "watashi wa", and I'm probanly wrong but I think take is kakarimasu. I would say it "Shashin anata onegai shimasu watashi wa kakarimasu?" Sounds right. How would you most of the time say it?

Japanese is more complex than that, you cannot take a literal translation of words and slap it together.

My limited japanese would suggest:

anata no shashin o totte mo iidesu ka

あなたの写真を撮ってもいいですか？

It is literally "Is it ok to take a picture of you?"

Though, more fluent members can probably correct me

1. You don't need あなたの. 写真を撮ってもいいですか。 Or how about 写真を撮らせていただけないでしょうか。

2. I was just joking.

3. "Cayla" = "she"

What does that mean?

百の失敗より一つの後悔をしたくない。

失敗をしない人間はいない。 いるのは失敗から立ち直れない奴と
立ち直れる奴だ。
