I love the idea of a person outside a major city, documenting their community over years in their own way.
Pretty amazing he was doing this aggressive style of shooting some 30 years ago - my personal take is it's *too* aggressive, verging on the skeezy, but he's clearly a unique artistic voice and I have to commend that.
This is pathetic, very rude!!! I understand you want that kind of reaction but at least interact with people after taking the photo, talk to them, get to know them. This is not photography passion, it's invasion passion, edge passion.
