Smoking in Public

© Tammy Angela Kindred - 2008

I am slowly starting to get into Street Photography and Candid shots. I am still really "shy" about taking photos in the street, so I used my point and shoot camera for this expedition so I would be less conspicues. I have just ordered a vintage camera from E-Bay ( I am a vast collector of vintage cameras and use them alot in my learning experiences ) and can not wait for it to get here. I will use it for street photography because it has a telephoto zoom lens ! But, for now, my point and shoot will do. I don't want to carry my SLR cameras around because I am afraid of negative reactions.

I read , during my research on Street Photography, that alot of the greatest Street photographers started out bieng very shy. I am not saying that I will be a great photographer...lol...I am just thinking that this is a normal process that I have to overcome....
