Just recently trying to force myself of being more open to doing some candid street.
And still have some personal hangups? about when appropriate?
As Street Vendors,Performers & Musicians give me the least amount of uneasiness to photograph.
And generally shot without problems.

But individuals even in obvious public view? Then seems to be a gray area on how I feel about shooting them. At to what level or degree of respecting ones privacy? And many times find it gets in the way of me taking the shot.

Or the biggest block is wanting to also capture and convey the plight of the homeless or other's needing help. But trying to do it without identifying the unfortunate. Or is it just bad form to take any pictures of those in a bad situation?

So any insights,observations to help me get over my self-consciousness? Your rules or guidelines?Or comments or critiques on getting better. As I am finding some satisfaction in trying more of it. But want to extract more joy and less doubt in taking the shots.
Thanks
