I love people/street photography, would you mind sharing the poster?

  I was actually personally very averse to doing street photography, but there seemed to be a fuzzy overlap with photojournalism. In my rules for myself, the difference was when newsworthiness trumps privacy/imposition. This particular image was when I was learning photojournalism, had just left practicing fluffy stuff at a street fair (e.g., visually appealing image of vendor making candied popcorn), and the crowd I was in suddenly parted, to something newsworthy, and muscle memory kicked in. I didn't try to publish it, because it turned out to involve a celebrity (who I didn't recognize until a real photojournalist told me), and I had a rule against shooting that, but it was a happy enough image that I had a print made for myself.
