About Street Portraits: have I made friends with any one?

No.  Some people who are in better situations are followers, but in none of them are friends. I think it’s the somewhat transitory and transactional nature of the photos that seems be an agreement that the photo is the relationship.  That is not to say that most of the people aren’t likable.  And there a few, for various reasons, that I do not appreciate. Street portraits seems to not be the thing you use to make, or expect friendships to grow from.
