[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 21255, member: 1061"] I like this article. It's not preachy and it doesn't give a tongue lashing to those who have opposing viewpoints. I thought it was very well-written. As for the topic at hand, we've touched on this a few times in different threads. Aside from the obvious no-nos, street photography "ethics" are largely a matter of personal preference. Working for the paper has definitely made me more bold, though I think given my assertive personality, most of you would be shocked to know that I am fairly timid while out and about. I've had my finger hovering over the shutter button many times while aimed at the homeless, and can never bring myself to take the photo. The same with the elderly. They're my Kryptonite. This area just isn't populated enough for "true" street photography, so I may never have a chance to test myself. Though I do agree with Helene: the telephoto just doesn't produce quality street photos. You have to get in there and go elbow to elbow with people to make it happen. [/QUOTE]
