mark, i live in the canadian prairie and nearly every property is fenced for the entirety of it. i drive gravel roads with fences on each side always. it restricts how close you can get to a subject, and how you compose. i noticed looking over older street photos i tend to layer images but that’s very hard if your subject is always at least 30 feet or more from you. something longer lenses can help with.
ha. indeed sometimes it has to happen, and it’s only trespassing if it’s posted. it’s just an odd thing i noticed by contrasting older work vs newer. change over time is subtle i guess.
I try not to worry about #9, but hey sometimes it creeps in
What mean you by this?
letting fences fence you off from more complex compositions

Tresspassing is a way to solve the problem, no? What a little jail time or buckshot when you can get the composition you want? 😉
Thx for the explanation.
