Photographer’s Note
i saw this old women sit at the bus stand in Dungun,lonely.When i went near to her..and snap some shot of her..suddently she anger to me.I recognize that her face have a great texture so i go near to her face using my 17-35mm canon lense.At that time she more anger and said to me that im a stupid guy.By the way i got a good shot of the face..the expression and the texture too.After that..i went to her..i smile..sit beside her..talk nicely..and said to her that why im doing that..she smile and said that im old already..not like the time went im young girl..go and take young girl picture..not me.I reply to her i said that ure the most beautiful girl that i ever seen before..she still smile and repeat a same word to me..that IM CRAZY.

SO let me get this right Mahathir...
You approach someone you don't know- you don't ask to take their photo, but do so anyways. Then they get angry at you for imposing on their personal space- and you go ahead and take MORE photos of them!?!?!?!?!
You CLEARLY have NO ethics- and if I were there to see it first hand- we probably would have had words.
Picking on an elderly woman!?!?!?! You should be ashamed of yourself...
Disgusted,

Shameful.
You did her harm.
If it is your idea of "candid" photography, I think you're wrong.
The best portraits I saw in this site are most often when the photographer has created contact with their subjects. Then, they don't "pose", they simply feel confident and they are ready to give their best, their soul.
