A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I've run into the same issues and have a separate account for my street photography because I know some people just don't 'get' it. I love it as an art. Street photography is one of the rare ways you can capture completely real life, no pretence, no filter, just people living their lives. You can some incredibly poignant images. I make sure never to identify the locations, and tend to post the pictures a while after I've taken them, not the next day, just to feel like I'm protecting the people a little more. There will always be people who think it is creepy or weird, and you won't change their minds, but if you like the images you're creating, there's no reason to stop doing it.
