only get looked at and thought of as a creep if you are, in fact, a
creep. If you look and act like a normal human being, smile and engage
your subject instead of just hiding behind shit, sneaking shots and then
running away, people don't have a problem with you taking their
picture. It helps if you're a young, attractive, outgoing person too, If
I was some old ugly guy with his socks pulled up to his knees I'd
probably get bitched out once in a while.
If you act like a
weirdo sneaking around forests trying to get pictures of elusive birds
or something you're just as much of a creep, it's just that usually
nobody sees you. Which is exactly why you basement dwelling introverts
feel more comfortable doing landscapes. It require no interaction with
people, and there are no people around to think you're being a creepy
fuck.
It's not really that surprising that 4channers have a
problem with street photography, because in general, you really have no
idea how to deal with people. Of course you get treated as a creep, you
ARE a creep. This is why you hate street photography, because you can't
do it. Even if you had the balls to do it you'd undoubtedly get your ass
kicked by some old, cane-wielding grandmother. |
