Keep doing what you're doing.
I love looking at other people's photo's, especially from places that I never went to, Wigan, Mecca, Leeds Central etc it gives me a visual insight into a time & place.
I snap from time to time , usually friends and people I know, but if I don't know one of the people that I'm snapping, I always check whether it's okay to put it on Soul source or another site, and not once has anyone said no. A lady did private message me once and asked me to remove a photo, as she said she looked like an Humpa Lumpa (her words) I thought she looked gorgeous, but I respected her wishes, & removed it.
Even though I love photo's (& being in them with my friends, not comfortable posing on my own) I did run away from a large lens at the weekend, and hid behind a speaker The photographer tends to take them at unusual angles, the photo's are very artistic, but I just didn't fancy being snapped upside down I didn't complain, because I enjoy looking at his photo's (as long as they don't have me in them) He has as much right to snap with his big lens, as I have with my little digital camera
