Oh I'll give way on bragging rights
I think that's called "good manners" and shows an admirable sense of social restraint. It's just a pity that there are those who don't display it and give others a bad name.

Street Photography Series Explores the Urge to Take Photos of Strangers
Street photography can be controversial.
And the YouTube video channel is here:
Paulie B breaks the mould, he features some really great photographers who have something interesting to say - I urge you seek out the videos he's done with Reuben Radding. He's probably cornered the market in Street Photography YouTube channels worth watching at the moment.. which leaves me more time to watch videos on how to bake a sourdough loaf haha
Reuben Radding was actually next on my watch list.I've watched the Jill Freedman and Matt Weber Videos, both great.. let's be honest, there can never be enough videos featuring Jill Freedman
In General, I have big issues with Street Photography on YouTube - the quality of the photography and the advice given, and don't get me started on Videos that feature other (not so good) YouTube street photographers
The Pauilie B video with Trevor Wisecup shared above leaves me conflicted - he seems a genuine nice guy but probably the sort that will ruin street photography for the rest of us
As I see it, what's wrong with all these "street photographers" is that they push their way into other peoples' personal space.
Are there instances where I would say the photographer is in the wrong, or that certain photographers are too invasive? Yes of course, there are always exceptions, but for the most part I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
I would feel more at ease with somebody taking a photo of me from a few feet away than somebody with a telephoto pointed at me from across the street.
We already know that we disagree on this. It seems pointless rehashing our differences.
That's you. How do you know what your victim will feel?
In that case, perhaps you should not raise the question?
So you stop then.
It’s definitely harder and more awkward to explain if you get approached by someone unhappy that you’ve taken their picture from across the street using long lens.
Not everyone sees subjects as victims.
If you get approached by the bear you're trying to photograph, that's more awkward as well.
It's nothing to do with how the photographer sees someone. It's how the someone sees the photographer,
Non-sequitur.
Now we're in silly territory.
Victim?
Please show me exactly where I raised the question?
His assumption is based on his own emotion, he can't possibly know what other people are feeling, unless they explicitly show their emotion.
I'm sorry but you can't compare the nature of a bear to the nature of a human being. The bear is acting on natural instinct, it's either hungry or territorial. It has zero thought process on you taking a photo of it.
The whole argument is ridiculous.
Looks and sounds like they had a fun day.
I quite enjoyed Matt WebberI've watched the Jill Freedman and Matt Weber Videos, both great.. let's be honest, there can never be enough videos featuring Jill Freedman
