After I posted my message about laughing at your subjects I realized that was 
pretty strong. I'm prepared to eat those words -- anybody got any dijon?

On the other hand, I feel like my words: "Put another
 way it seems like "street photographers" view people on the street as
 merchandise to be collected on film or fodder for their photographic
appetite." are fairly accurate -- for better or worse . . .
