Cell Phone "Street Photography"

I like the concept of  "Street Photography" although I rarely do it. I think that Street Photography works best in cities. The only place around here I'm comfortable taking photos of strangers with my full size camera is in Venice Beach, in Los Angeles, or along the Promenade in Santa Monica.

I took this photo with my iPhone. Cell phones alter a landscape of Street Photography because they allow for taking stealth photos, with little notice, and very little set-up.
 
There are a few FLICKR groups for cell phone Street Photography. Actually, I started one called iPhone Street Photography.
