Hello everyone Having recently acquired a digital camera, I sometimes bring it around the city (Montreal, QC, Canada), to the weekend's tam-tam sessions, to chase images, scenes, attitudes. Though I enjoy very much the act of photographing these scenes, I feel there is something wrong about taking pictures of humans while they don't know about it. (I have taken a lot of pictures of my girlfriend, of my sister-in-law, and this is ok since they know). Am I wright, am I wrong about that "issue"? I must say that I don't intend to publish those images, but they are taken for my personal enjoyment. Your thoughts about that kindly appreciated. PH
