Sorry, Paul Capa did not mean to fill the frame using long lenses. getting in close gives more intimate results. You seem to like a more "voyeuristic" approach to photography - that's fine for you. Getting close does not mean getting in someone's face - depending on what you mean by that. your remark seems rather condescending and judgmental. one can work close and catch the subject unaware. it's a learned skill.

I think both can be good.
