As for the people (as in animals, I might add!), I like eye contact, and also like seeing the faces of my subjects, because that is where expressions and emotions reside. The flip is that I do not, 99% of the time, enjoy photographs of the backs of people. So both these reasons conspire in my taking photographs straight on. But that is just me...YMMV. As to not getting punched I live in the most street photograph friendly city in the whole universe....as those Luggers who have come here and accompanied me on the streets of Chennai will vouch for. It is really easier than you think, if you know the local lingo and are quite natural and open about why you are photographing on the streets, and involve them in the process a bit. After that the first couple of shots they will pose for you, after which they will just forget you are around.
