Street photography

Among many practitioners of this so called art, street photography is deemed the holy grail. I used to do  much of it in my younger days. This image is not too old and was shot in Coney Island. I called this man the philosopher of Coney Island. It was shot with a Nikon F 200 and a 35mm lens. I do not shoot from far away with long lenses. I find this offensive to the subject. I believe it to be a cowardly type of sniping. I like to get close and personal. Most people welcome having their picture taken. If they refuse, I just walk away. No big deal.
