That guy looks a bit like Allan Cumming...

How do you find people react to flash Jim?

How do you find people react to flash Jim?

There was no reaction really, fill-flash in day light isn't really blinding, I don't think they even noticed/cared.

I guess I shoot on the streets with the mentality that I am a tourist looking for interesting scenes. I wasn't specifically looking for "victims" or make anyone look bad, rather I try to look for meaningful or out of ordinary situations where these people happen to be part of the environment that makes up the whole composition I mean to shoot.

I find that once I start to think of street photography this way, I don't feel that I am doing anything wrong or sneaky, and feel more confident about the activity.

I like this a lot Jim - using the flash is really adding a very nice pop

I also like your description of your thought process - it's a great way to approach the subject, and that approach clearly gets results.
