I am not going to be selling the photos, just for personal use, to gain experience.

When taking pictures of average people, I get mixed reactions.... (partly because in this day and age everyone is paranoid about ending up photoshopped in some porn experiment on the internet...) others simply dont care (if they even realize)
the tricky part though, is when you find a kid doing something truly photo worthy, you are almost looked at as the future candidate for America's Most Wanted because everyone is so overprotective of their children (with GOOD reason)
I try to take pictures at friends little league games, etc... that way if there are any truly concerned parents, my friends (parents themselves) can validate what I am doing...
