I’d rather miss the shot, my intentions are not to make people feel self-conscious or be a public nuisance. I think the key here is to develop an approach that is the most non-confrontational so you can continue to shoot photos without fear of backlash.

Missing “The Shot.”
Anyone who is concerned about this isn’t taking enough photos.
Street Photography As Self Service
Best to accept that your photos don’t matter to anyone but yourself and to practice as a form of meditation.
Staying Productive Is The Goal
If I went a week without a good photo I’d find a different hobby. No point if I’m not productive.
Simplify The Scene
The best way in my opinion to make more keepers. I just delete any photo that is too distracting from where I want the focus to be.
Black And White Photography
Make something out of nothing. Cheat code for visually interesting photos. This is ideal if you want to stay productive and avoid discouragement.
Failure Is Inevitable
Every time I go out, I miss thousands of shots. Photos I tried and didn’t turn out or photos I didn’t take at all. I think once we realize this, the missed shot no longer matters.
My Best Work Is In The Future
I hear everyone’s best work is when they are newer to photography. I’ll continue to grow as a street photographer. My life experiences and curiosity of my reality is what inspires me to continually evolve. My next photo is slightly better as I gain a different level of understanding.
Embracing Wabi-Sabi
It’s the most useful principle for my street photography. I don’t wish for the perfect photo. A photo that draws an emotion and sense of place is the goal. The planned photo takes always from the random nature and devoid of feeling. Life is mostly messy as my photography should be.
Something From Nothing
That’s what high contrast black and white photos allows me to do.
