As Paula said, Surreptitious photography is challenging, but it may have its rewards like ending up with really candid shots, or it can have undesirable effects such as being beaten up or sewed.
I always feel a bit funny when taking a photo of someone when they are not aware I am doing so, but sometimes I just can’t help it. I took these photos surreptitiously as I walked along the East River in NYC in Carl Schurz Park.

These are all so very apt for the theme DM. The reason why I chose the photo I chose is cause of the little dog 🙂 xx
