I’ve heard it said that taking a photo of someone you don’t know is an act of aggression. I think we inwardly know this, and have to overcome it to get those sweet street shots. Because even though we don’t mean aggression, it can be interpreted that way by the subject.

I believe this is part of the battle a good street photographer must face each day. Some get a thicker skin (the extreme: paparazzi), others find covert ways to do it, which in itself seems devious and stalkerish.

Watching! Good idea.

I was wondering how obvious you are to your subjects at NFC… do you get many grumbles? That light is so even, it’s just perfect.
