A photographer friend takes mainly buildings and architecture but not candid as he feels people have a right to know they have had their picture taken and will be published round the world. I was struck by a pang of guilt and questioned what I do and why. Has he got a point.? I have posted this candid grab shot to illustrate there are some pictures that can never be posed. Does not make it right but would you or I want to be snapped. I like to think I would never post pictures that humiliate or mock. But that is a thin dividing line and personal opinion. What do you think?

Thank you Paulo and Joseph for your kind comments and encouragement. You are right Joseph,street photography would be the poorer if it were all posed with no candids.
