I admit from my part that street photography in Italy is very difficult and near to death.
I tried to work for some blogs about street fashion, but it was almost impossible to shot people without trouble.
People believes in stupid stories and urban legends about a bad use on the web of the photos taken, and the times are changin' fast.
I don't believe anymore in street photos (of people and in Italy) as a possible form of art or documentation: if you want to play it, you need to hide for do it.
Times are changin' very fast, and photography art follows this development: what you did 40 years ago it's not replyable in these days.
I hope anyway that our art will evolve into something new, but also good: we as photographers, will create the new forms of art, and we need anyway to look ever at the tomorrow with an eye on our history.
Anyway, have fun with your camera: that's the main thing!
