Sorry, but that's my take. Interesting attitude. Life can be cruel, in a way..... I tend to eschew the whole street photography thing in the same way I eschew jazz music. I don't get it, and I don't really feel the need to, either. I learned to appreciate Scotch, I don't need to do more. This particular picture caught my eye, I think because of it's unashamed vouyrerism. There is no harm done to the subject, and he is in a public place. At the same time, it is a car wreck of a photo, it makes me feel like a rubbernecker. This picture touches something deep in me, I don't care to explain it further than that.
