Whoah... stop right there. Street photography ain't about 'stealing' images.
It's about making pictures with what's there. Like Winogrand said when
Arnold Crane asked him if he was afraid that he'd miss pictures while he was
reloading... "there ARE no pictures while I'm reloading".

What a great guy.
