I don't shoot so-called "Street" photography for this very reason. I'm of the opinion that everyone has the right to expect a modicum of privacy even in public. I only shoot people photographs when they are in a setting where they would expect to be photographed. For example in costume for an event. I do not walk down the street shooting photographs of people simply because they have an interesting expression or because it is something embarrassing to them. I treat people the way I would like to be treated, and that doesn't include somebody sticking a camera in my face simply because they feel they have a right to do so.
This shot was wrong. The OP knew that the Amish do not wish to be photographed by his own admission yet he took it anyway and put it on a forum for everyone to see. I personally feel that they have the right to their own beliefs, and I do not find this respectful of their way of life in any form.
I didn't realize the Amish guy was doing something embarrassing. Seemed pretty mundane to me.
