Don, I hear you regarding the basic reticence to photograph strangers in
public.
However, someone spotting you photographing a backside might be a whole new
adventure!
Was that Graham (geebee) who was given the exercise by KC?
Doesn't he only do stylish landscapes with clouds these days??? Was that
after the contact counseling by an agro bystander ;-)
And if it was advice from KC; does it start off, first find a levitating
Goth?? ;-)
You've set me a mission now to trawl my archives for a suitable street photo
to post (not many in my files!).
btw, no fear in Aussie vernacular can be interpreted as not bl**dy likely!

Hoppy,
Really, there is no bravery to it. You see, set it up, take a couple of
frames and move on. Typically takes less than thirty seconds from first
seeing. Most people are not that aware of what is going on around them and
if you act like you belong there then you belong there.
Graham needs to relate to you a project that Kyle assigned him to get him
over his shyness in taking pictures of people.
No fear.
