People of Paris // Anthrophotojournalism

When I went to Paris the first time, I found myself taking just as many photos of the Parisians as I did of their city. Sometimes I feel internal dissonance about photographing strangers when I know they'll never see the image--many people don't even realized I clicked my shutter in the first place. Most of the time, I can let go of my discomfort because I feel so inspired by this kind of work. What do you think about #anthrophotojournalism (that term feels right, even if it is made up). Is it ethical? Or is this kind of #streetphotography an invasion of privacy--even when it's in a public space?In one of my photojournalism classes at CU Boulder, my instructor told us the point of photo-editing in the journalism world is to make the picture look as close to what the moment looked like when it actually happened. I tried to avoid heavily editing the images --many haven't been edited at all. The ones that were needed exposure, color, cropping, or contrast adjustments (with the exception of the black/white images).  I narrowed this post down to a few dozen favorites (with a few self portraits hidden in the midst... Can you spot them? There are 3!)
