Enjoying that long lens, eh? Good for spotting the wildlife and any interesting scenes without disturbing the subject.
Ahem.

Indeed so, good sir. Your wildlife shots are my inspiration.
On a somewhat more serious note, that long lens is scary. I've had to do a lot of thinking about the ethics of street photography. Regardless of the amount of clothing, when you reach out with a lens like that you are photographing naked people. It places a burden of responsibility on the photographer to treat the unknowing subject with respect and decency. The essence of the paparazzi is the intentional disregard of that responsibility.

Flattery will get you everywhere.
I understand what you mean. It's easy to end up like the paparazzi if you don't ever think about such things and only care about getting what you want. It's best think about what you're doing or posting and how it will portray people. Stops any mistakes or regrets too.

Great angle, Steve.
I've been loving your photos lately, too whelmed to comment, overwhelming-ness is looming closer. Have a great weekend.
