Response to "Street Photography"

thanks Shawn! great idea and good job! specializing the forums of photo.net is a grand gift....thank you!

I'm for #1, that can't surprise you! I've tried all three and since I don't care to publish anything well the personal privacy issue seems less important. I've always been obsessed with "getting the shot" above all else. I'll risk death and destruction with a camera in hand.... and it's true....folks tend to notice a big black GSW pointing at them nevermind a technika(hell they end up posing for it...yes I tried it once) so I keep the GSW under my coat....the super-scope on my T4 however is magnificent for candids.....it fools everyone! They think you're making adjustments....similar to waist level finding with your Rollei Todd. I've gone so far as to rip out the jacket pocket so I can trigger the prefocused GSW while only it's lens peaks through. All this sneaking about keeps those privacy issues to a minimum because after all, "what they don't know won't hurt them". I've been to places where you pay for a shot...like the reservations around Santa Fe and Taos....but that's not what I'm after......CANDIDS are what I'm after. So cowardly I limit my liability but never my enjoyment.
