Nice stuff. This isn't a negative comment on your photos but just seeing photos where people look uncomfortable or otherwise not appreciative of being photographed makes me uneasy. I can't imagine taking shots like that. How do people normally react? Have you ever had any harsh reactions from people?

there are very various reactions. A lot of people smile, but harsh reactions are also common. It was my first time with flash so i don't have a lot of stories to tell yet, but one guy threatened me that will take me into back alley, call his friends and take my camera/beat me up. He started fallowing me until i deleted his picture; and from now on i decided to just delete pictures when asked for if i don't like the picture anyway. Lesson number 2 - always record audio when someone pissed off approaches you, or if you like your picture and are not willing to delete it.

Thanks for the explanation. It's very good stuff, the expressions you've captured are amazing. I personally wouldn't have the nerve to do what you're doing, but I'm happy you're doing it and sharing it here.

^^ + 1. I mostly enjoy shooting while I travel but even in that context I don't have guts to even ask people if I can take their pictures, let alone snap them unsolicited. Good for you but... be careful! ;)

I've always been wary of taking street photo's I know I don't like it when people take mines.
