This is where those of you who are not hip-shooters display some of your pictures which is a direct confrontation between you and the subject.
Here for example this young couple were mocking the protest in the background and I photographed them point-blank and walked off slowly. they did not say anything.

I assume it was a "Free Tibet" demonstration? Looks like he was in the process of photographing you with his digicam.

They look very scary. Especially her.
(Sorry, just teasing because it seems like such an inconsequential "confrontation".)

I was once shoved by a pedestrian who wasn't too fond of being shot with my lens. The following pics were instances where I got caught and thankfully didn't result in any physical confrontations.
-Did you just take my picture?
-Me? Umm no.
-Well good then.
In Paris on the Champs Elysses. She bolted out the door of Louis Vuitton and was about to jump into a waiting cab when I snapped this. Just got a dirty look.
I usually avoid shooting in the casinos.. it's verboten and I'm not into being turfed. But... I was walking back to my room late one night (camera in hand, of course) and noticed this scene begging to be shot. He looks kinda like a made man and she looked like she just walked off the aisle. I stopped, shot and quickly kept moving. As soon as I hit the shutter I noticed that he saw me... and dealt a stern, serious glare. I kind of smirked... but he didn't.

I don't know why I wanted to photograph these three but once I took the picture, the other two seemed pleased but the girl in red which has given me the really nasty look was annoyed. "Did you just take our picture?" she said emphatically, I didn't even look at her and said, "yes I did..." and I walked off, she said "you can't just do that...", I said, "yes I can, you're in a public place...".

Would've had a photo to share but....
I was in a green space in Yaletown (posh area in Vancouver, B.C.) when i saw a woman in a nice stance accentuated by the late afternoon light standing beside a tent. Snapped a photo from about 6-8 feet away so it was obvious to her that she's been recorded... she then approached me & I returned the gesture and walked towards when I noticed that she was highly intoxicated and that her "tent" was not an enjoy-the-afternoon-in-the-park type of a tent, but her home...
I explained my purpose and slowly walked away when Mr. Big & Burly from inside the tent, who has been watching me the whole time, was about to come out as he requested in a slightly threatening manner to delete the photo...
...he, he... delete...
... hard to run in flip flops!....

so i posted a photo above but the other day i was out in the field and happened to stop at this little super market out on the reservation and there is this spot where all these old men sit and shoot the breeze, i walked past and went inside our work truck and grabbed my camera walked back and took a shot.
i didn't think anything of it then as i was getting in my truck i heard someone say behind my hey you! i turned around and it was one of those guys pointing at me, me being the nice guy i am i walked over to the chair and said yes, he did the whole thing of why are you taking my picture i don't appreciate you taking my picture, i said i take pictures for myself im not going to do anything with it, then he said i might just have to call you supervisor and tell them i don't appreciate you running around taking photos. i said im sorry i should have asked permission and told him my name, and said if you need to call go ahead, said i was sorry and shook his hand. after all that all the other old men started to make fun of him and he kinda let it go... still no call yet, but who knows...

I have a photographer friend, who is also talented with computers...took a photo of some big celebrities who happened to be here in New Orleans. This with his digital SLR, and he was immediately confronted by protesting bodyguards. He was friendly and compliant, and in front of the bodyguards he deleted all the photos from the memory card. When he got home, he used software to retrieve the so-called "deleted" photos from the memory card.
