public nuisance

I find that one of the biggest barriers between myself and shooting a great picture is not lack of inspiration, and its not [just] laziness; it's the feeling of eyes watching me as I go out of my way—and get in theirs—to get my shot. I feel as though pulling over the car or stopping in my tracks in the middle of the street, alley, walkway, or sidewalk is a nuisance to others nearby, and so I pass on the opportunity to click & tell. So I'm challenging myself to pull over the car, stop in my tracks, and crouch if I have to, if it means getting the shot. I'd say its worth pushing through that awkward feeling... wouldn't you?
