Bruce Gilden on the street

Street photography is not a commercial activity, it is the only kind of 'art' photography that involves the public without their knowledge or cooperation. Even photojournalists who make pictures of people in public places are just doing their jobs and are seen as being, to one extent or another 'acceptable' because at least their motive for picture making is clear. The street photographer, however, is almost exclusively unmotivated by financial gain, so WHY is he pointing his camera at me?
