First attempt at street photography

Well the last 2 days have been my first time out doing some street photography, and boy did I get some wired looks. I couldn't tell weather I was going to get a slap or my camera stolen at some point. But on the plus side I have met some lovely people and never laughed so much. Today I was walking round stockton market were I found the stall holders giving me very worried looks and watching every move I made, It started to make me feel very uncomfortable, untill one stall holder shouted me over and asked if I worked at Income support to which I laughed and answered no she then told her husband he could come out from his hiding place lol
