Thanks for this. Provokes some thought about ethics, legality etc. It’s good that you stood your ground and also good that in each situation you were challenged you tried to de-escalate. I had a situation that I wrote about on my Substack when I was challenged very aggressively and responded very aggressively without thinking, and it could have got nasty real fast. Being polite doesn’t cost anything and will usually disarm people who are challenging you, and I should have remembered that!
Nice subjective article, Mark.
I'm curious to know, what drives you to do street photography and what stops you from asking people for portraits or do architectural photography?
I love the the 5b photo, colours and light work so well in this image!
