Right George, but not always you have the opportunity. What I would like to
say is that the fact to be in communication don't imply the respectuous
attitude, I think that respect can be showed, should be showed on the form
to see and photograph the persons. 

Saludos cordiales
Luis

Quite so.
Yet, as photographers, we all know when we're photographing "strangers" when
that unspoken chemistry is working - the subject is feeling flattered by our
lens - and when it's not quite so - the subject is feeling invaded - in each
case we "feel" the vibe - and those times when we "feel" we're "stealing"
something the subject does not want to share - well - best start
communicating and showing some respect - right?

Fond regards,
George
