Scarborough Art Gallery are currently running a photographic exhibition (I don't know what's got into them!) - "Return to Penumbria" by Adrian Gate, who has been a street photographer in northern cities for 30 years or so. Absolutely superb! Great humour and pathos. Much B&W work from the 70's nd 80's, but he was persuaded to revisit the streets recently with a digital compact camera. The interesting comparison between then and now is the subjects' attitude to being photographed - then it was idle curiosity, now it's often outright aggression to the photographer.
Well worth a visit.
The message: Find an interesting backdrop and see who (or what) walks into it, and be ready.
