This Village Voice article exemplifies why I'm not really into doing street photography in the US: The NYPD Harasses a Photographer at Coney Island
In the places I've traveled to most people don't take issue with photographers shooting in public. Of course, there is random demand of being asked to pay after you've taken someone's photo, but that's just commercialism rearing it's lovely head. Quite honestly, if something is in the public domain a photographer has every right to capture it on film/digital so long as they are polite and discreet about it. Why don't we read articles from Laotians complaining about western tourist-razzis shoving themselves between Laotian monks to get "the shot"?
