We are gonna have to disagree here. If someone is acting nervous and weird, people do pick up on that.
Absolutely not true. This is way too simplistic.
Basically, everyone is neutral and you are the one attributing things to people around you, according to your own personality and experiences. If you are sicko, you will attribute it to the people Surrounding you.

Well, thanks for your opinion. I myself think that the poor woman was simply fearful for her child and a little overwrought, but find your conclusion that I must have been emitting weirdness vibes mildly amusing - what a very odd thing for you to say.
I'm glad that you personally "..never experienced any of that bad stuff..." during your time in that state. The nature of your comment makes me wonder, though - perhaps others were instead looking askance at you?
And you wonder why people don't like street photographers.
i don't really take images in the gallery/meida section as being any sort of barometer of anything whether it is street work or figurative work or rocks and trees or anything else; its more like an abstraction than anything else. Sure Rorschsach test if that means an abstraction of an abstraction ... just like life.I agree very much with your comment about "bad apples"...however, from what I see on Photrio Media, they are not a minority. Photography is increasingly a Rorschsach Test...

Who cares who agrees ...
or disagrees?
Like Don McCullin, Vivian Maier and most of the other famous photographers who shot on the street, right ?
What a rubbish statement.
As for taking photos of the homeless, it once served a purpose to educate people....but it's been done and is probably in bad taste....though I have considered doing portraits of a guy I got to know who was sleeping rough outside the train station I use every day. I decided not to, but kind of regret it. Musicians and performers I will sometimes photograph if they look interesting or have gathered a crowd and always give them a quid or two.
Now this could be a boss that just slept with his staff's wife

That could be considered stalking.I have seen street photography done without being invasive. A lot of strangers on the street will even happily pose in weird ways if you ask them. And many will give the okay AFTER you have taken the photo, if you just introduce yourself and ask.
The worst is the people who photograph poor or homeless people - trying to capitalize off of someone else's misfortune, but claiming in their vanity that they just want to bring "awareness." They are rude, vain, and liars.
It is legal. But it is also legal for me to stand outside your house every morning and follow you to work.
But I'm not stalking you. It's just a coincidence. Every day.That could be considered stalking.
At first it was Commies and Reds.I believe many people are paranoid about being photographed (or their children being photographed) by strangers in public because they are told by the news outlets that they need to be highly concerned because individuals walking around taking pictures in the street are likely to be criminals or perverts up to no good. Yet at the same time, they post images of themselves and their children on Facebook and the like... for the entire world to see and potentially download. There's just no rationality behind all this.
Didn't work. I did call the cops and I pointed out all the people who were using their own cell phones.Live and learn.
I still want that shot, Maybe use my Mamiya c220 instead with my 55mm lens, and if I have any issues say "don't worry, I've got a wide angle lens" and hope that works.
"Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, you're a mile away and you've got their shoes."
Prove me wrong.
That is not "Street Photography" it is taking portraits of strangers on the street.Other than street performers (of which I always toss a few dollars in their instrument case), my personal rule is, if someone's face is prominently in the shot, I ask permission. I suggest a few of you folks that have perhaps a too liberal attitude give it a try. Legally right or not, does not make our hobby any sort of friends with a poor attitude...
At first it was Commies and Reds.
Then it was Rock & Roll, long hair and "drugs".
Now it is a 60 year old guy, with a 40 year old camera.......
What's your shoe size?

There is no time to "Ask Permission"....the moment is gone at that point.
I wish i had a scanner, but there are Hundreds of examples on The Internet of what Street Photography is.
Garry Winogrand for example.
Nah. Street Photography is literally taking photos on the street - it's weird how all these stupid rules have sprung up over time and limits what people take.

So my photos of buildings are now “street photography” because I took them while standing on the street?
A classification isn’t a rule, and it doesn’t limit what people photograph.
I guess there are "No Rules" as to what i might call...... Fine Art, Landscape, Architecture, Etc etcSo my photos of buildings are now “street photography” because I took them while standing on the street?

No, it is not simply that.Nah. Street Photography is literally taking photos on the street - it's weird how all these stupid rules have sprung up over time and limits what people take.
