People are camera-shy but not phone-shy?

1. I'm the Opposite

If someone hits me with a real "DSLR-type" camera when taking a photo, no biggie tome. It's like getting bumped by someone in a grocery store stocking food. Feels like someone doing something creative, like a deliberate hobby or work, or at least going to something that will be useful or productive. Most places I take photos are pretty chill, so outside of a museum, I haven't encountered a ton of resistance. Then again, I'm not a professional photographer doing this full time, I'm just a dork with a camera.

iPhone photos make me wonder if I'm about to get uploaded to some idiots Twittypages, or wind up in the background of some photo that will someday be called "Exhibit A" in someone's else's trial. Am I in some internet fart video now? Feels somehow, less conscientious and sincere, and more inconsiderate and indiscriminate, maybe more invasive even, and like any discomfort I may feel serves little good, and is for something cheap. It's like getting sprayed with slush by a passing car, on it's way to buy one of a thousand packs of smokes it will run to get in its lifetime, on a random Tuesday.

YMMV
