The whole idea of street photography it to catch. Whatever you are hunting: the ambiance, the people, the lights - you have to be very quick. I'm pretty much skilled in digital street photo, however using film just takes it to a new level of coordination between your eyes, hands and the object. Which is not always happy to be shot, believe me.
Personally, walking without a camera I hate being photographed. Being a woman of average looks, not a youn model at all, I usually prefer staged pics. Buuut... it is totally contraversial to being a photographer. In Washington I didn't get any negative feedback from most people I've photographed.
Once I was confronted by a traffic controller, who was curious 'why the heck are you taking photoes of the same corner tree days long"? We have an informative discussion about architectural differences in our countries, and thats all.
All the photos below have been taken with Nikon FE and Kodak Ektar 100.
