Quite so.
Yet, as photographers, we all know when we're photographing  
"strangers" when that unspoken chemistry is working - the subject is  
feeling flattered by our lens - and when it's not quite so - the  
subject is feeling invaded - in each case we "feel" the vibe - and  
those times when we "feel" we're "stealing" something the subject  
does not want to share - well - best start communicating and showing  
some respect - right?

Fond regards,
George
