I'm finding it harder and harder to take my camera out for a matter of 5 seconds to take a photo, at the risk of being stared at, etc. Some people can make you feel really nervous...
I guess it's just because I'm still starting out.
Maybe just be the fact your new to the scene and your letting paranoia creep in, when I first started out I would go where not many could see me...As it was summer 2008 or 2009 when I started I would disguise myself by wearing sunglasses and a sleeveless hoody that was up and pulled tight.
Now I could't give a monkeys toss who see me, all my friends know what I do and they accept my 'unusual' hobby
I hope you can find it within yourself to keep taking your camera out, dont let those people who intimidate you or make you nervous and edgy win, I do hope u dont drop off the scene, would be a shame
