Thoughts of a street photographer

That is how I feel. There are ways getting around being obvious. Sometimes I'd just like to stand on a street and take photos. But don't for the reasons you say.   
Thanks for the item. He has chutzpah.  

EDIT: I often see kids playing in the park and would love to take their photos of them playing but that ain't going to happen. Last week, some kids were sledding down a small slope in the park. Would have been a great photo op. But no. Just keep moving along. I ask dog walkers if I can to take photos of their dogs. And I've taken photos of the three neighbour kids as their parents know me and are cool with it. And those three dynamos love getting their photos taken. "Show me! Show me."   

I take photos of strange things when a scrapbook title pops into my head when I see something. I like to say “I think in scrapbook”

Good point. Same. The candid street photos I have taken have always (?) been in other countries: Mongolia, China, Chile, Bahamas, Belize. I can recall several "good" ones. Somewhere, one a man looked at me and crossed his forearms in an X with a scowl on his face; however, most seem to like the attention. Interesting, as we do not I feel comfortable at home. 

Would be a good post Howard. Wanna start? 
PSEM Street Photography From Around the World

Good idea. I'll try to dig out some of my attempts. We have in laws visiting from UK at the moment 🥴 and some house renovations going on 😲 so my time is limited for a while.

On the upside we're going to Vietnam in May/June and I'm having a 2 day workshop in Hanoi with Eric DeVries, who I see as something of a mentor (he taught me so much when we met in Siem Riep), so fingers crossed I'll come back with a few good 'uns.

Along the topic of street photographers, I saw this post by David Turnley FB and then googled the photographer. Thought it might fit in this thread.
