I've been noticing ever since I started street photography, that my attention is mostly drawn to children. I find this funny because even though I love children they are not my number one favorite thing. I'm like most, I like to spend time with them and give them directly back to their parents! However they are probably the easiest subjects to photograph because they are so candid and unguarded. It's difficult though, if I want to continue with taking pictures of children I'm going to have to accept the fact that I'm probably going to be approached by one of their parents at some point. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Children are great subjects, but one of the most difficult things about street photography is that somebody might make you feel like you're doing something wrong. If I saw someone taking pictures of my kids, I would be concerned too. Luckily I haven't had anyone approach me yet. I wish there was an easier way to explain to people why they're such great subjects.
