Impersonal? Fair enough.
These are more personal. Just don't say that these are portraits, not street photography:bang:.

I didn't say impersonal, I said lacking context.
I wouldn't categorise those as classic street photos, nice photos but street photos?
Long lenses always edit out too much of the world for my taste, the subject without their environment.

Yeah, definitely nice pics. Tele just isn't my taste that's all.
We might go off on a tangent here & revisit the wide vs tele topic again...
After spending some time on this thread, I looked at a handful of my pics & very rarely do I have somebody looking right at the camera... sometimes it adds something & sometimes not to the whole image.

I'm not a street photographer as such, but I take photos of, in and around my home town and people are often part of the scene. A typical and oft-repeated interchange with people on the street who notice me taking a pic is:
"sorry" [them assuming they just got in the way of my photo]
"no problem" [me]
Otherwise when noticed I smile and say hello. I've never had a bad reaction here in York. Perhaps it's familiarity with cameras as so many people here are tourists.

Why do I need a release? I missed that part 
.
Secondly, why would they sign it. What possible advantage would it be to them. I would feel kind of ... creepy asking for personal information from a complete stranger.
Can you PM me a copy, please. I would love to see what it says. I am curious aobut what is involved. Payment in print? Payment for what? Taking their picture?
Selling it as art?
Posting it online. Using it as reference material for painting. Using it as inspiration for poetry? ...OO
The other thing I want to know is how far away do they have to be before you get them to sign a release.
If you blow this up you can see this woman's face.
12 mm 5.6 on Leica MP

... no, a subject release form would be a bit tricky a lot of the time, and anyway if they don't see me with a 12mm they can't claim I was being sneaky
