Great start, Nancy! Like you, I haven't spent a lot of time in "street photography"
for any number of reasons, but mostly because I hate to intrude...
I do have a few that might qualify...

Thanks Tim, I agree that the intrusion is the part that makes it difficult for me. While shooting the group of karaoke performers it became awkward when they realized I was photographing them and them started posing and then of course they tried to get me to take the mic! LOL, that's certainly wasn't happening!
I like this group of images Tim - that last one, with the guy in the background also taking a photo! Nice catch!

Street stuff may and can include hip shots, GiGi
You set up your camera with a 2 or 10 sec retard on a table while you are hypocritically reading the paper or sipping your coffee..you'll catch 'em every time

Hi. Just curious, when you do street photography, regarding your photos with one or two people, do you ask the people if they mind if you take their photo, or just snap, post and hope that if they see your photo, they don't mind?
My biggest concern with snapping Street Photography or landscape shots with people, is that if I post it somewhere, or enter it in a contest or show, people will see it and get upset I didn't ask them first.
Maybe part of that has to do with an experience a senior friend and her mom had with an in-home caregiving company. The caregiver took them to the beach,( a public place they could probably "get away with") took photos of my friends with their dogs, then posted one of the photos in a brochure without ever telling them why they were taking the photos, or bothering to ask their permission about posting them in the brochure. So am a little sensitive to invading anyone's space and privacy, and wondering how you handle this.
Thank you,
PhotoNat

Neat idea - I'll have to give that a try. Did you set the focus on infinity?

It is legal to photograph people in public spaces but definitely not advisable to photograph children given the times we are currently living in. As far as what you shoot, you need to use your own sense of what is appropriate - for example, I never take shots of people in obvious distress or whose appearance would result in a picture that would bring ridicule upon them (I've seen street shots that do exactly that and it is despicable!)
Street photography is a candid genre and you would want to avoid people who are posing for the camera although taking an environmental/street portrait would be an exception.
Here's an example of a street portrait - I was minding my own business, taking shots in NYC when this dude popped up in front of me saying, "take my picture!". I took his picture, we high-fived, and he disappeared back into the crowd - a really neat experience!
