I have no trouble at events/crowded city streets/crowds/marches, etc. Eg, http://www.rgaphoto.com/2013-Carnival/index.html and several in here: https://www.robertadlerphotography.com/p114504684/h72e4d428#h72ba9521 However I've found Sacramento to be rather spread out and opportunities for walking around photos where I encounter isolated individuals to be the norm. For example on the same walk a young couple was arguing; great opportunity. However I didn't want to insert myself; he was tipsy (from whatever) and she was pissed. I'm sure I wouldn't want to become part of the scene, so I didn't. But thank you so much for the advice and guidance.
