Well, generally no if you’re shooting up close, unless you’re quick on the draw. And especially when they’re in a compromising position. As a rule of thumb, I try to stay away from photographing authorities, kids and the destitute, well, knowingly anyway.

Don’t worry, you’ll figure out what to look out for eventually. Sometimes, a little crop can reveal something else in the picture that you didn’t realize before.

I got the scavenger's pictures because he was too busy to pay attention to his surroundings, not to mention the guard from the school was looking at me when I took the photograph.

It seems that my pictures look a bit more like snapshot-ish than candid.

Take your time to find out which one sets you at ease and concentrate on it. IMO, street photography is about interaction with the surroundings, preferably up close, like the scavenger pic. Also, a fitting caption or title helps accentuate the context and leads the viewer directly to the intended subject matter. By the way, is the vignetting inherent of the lens? (Nah, I jest) :P Good attempt at shooting different styles. Take your time to find out which one sets you at ease and concentrate on it.
