Street Photography at pinkheadedbug.com
pinkheadedbug.com has some fantastic street photographs by a guy called John Brownlow. The site is particularly interesting to me as there are galleries devoted to several London locations, including Oxford Street, Speaker’s Corner and the Notting Hill Carnival. There’s also tips and techniques for getting over the common problems of street photography, the biggest one being your own fear of openly taking pictures of complete strangers…
“A lot of my pictures have eye contact. In fact, I seek it out. Some people don’t like that, but I do. It’s a moment of connection. That’s what I’m after.
Some aspiring street photographers are afraid of getting into confrontations, or even getting hit.
Well, good. You should be afraid of getting hit. if you’re not afraid of that, you’re an idiot, or possibly an ice hockey player.”

Great stuff! I'm a huge fan of street photography, and it's always good to see such fine examples of it.

pinkheadedbug doesn't seem to have been updated for a while, but it's still a compulsory visit for anyone remotely interested in street photography or people pictures.

I have been taking street photographs recently in Amsterdam for the first time. After a while, after getting over the initial feeling of fear, it does get easier. But I have a lot to improve, I would never think about making eye contact like John Brownlow does...

Eye contact can definitely make a picture though.
I prefer to make eye-contat through the longest end of a 75-300mm zoom. That way, if they don't like having their photo taken, you've still got time to run away...!
