Two in the last four days. I guess these people hate the sight of a D70.

If you can tell that the people don't like having their picture taken, why
do you take it?

That sarcasm doesn't really answer my question.
It's not like those two images are pictures of crowds with dozens or
hundreds of people. Your first image contains only two. Your second
contains one (and a half). You even said yourself that "these people hate
the sight of a d70" so it's pretty clear you knew they didn't want their
pictures taken.

So why would you, if you knew they didn't want it? Or more clearly, judging
from the look on the musicians face, why would you if you knew that they
specifically wanted it -not- to happen?

I think these pictures are fine. It's a relief to see someone taking
character shots, It so boring to click a link and see another dull,
mushy auto focused scenery shot (not that I have anything against
scenery)

Character photography has a long history. Would either of these pics
tell the story better (and that's what photography is all about) if
the subjects were posing and smiling?

I used a little Leica back in the 60's and folks wern't nearly as
intiminated by it as they were by the Pentex's.

Some of them look like they hate the sight of everything.
