street portraiture... and when I get a chance I try to snap off a couple of pics...

unfortunately though when I took this (on the weekend) I had the family in tow and lets just say that they don't exactly share my passion for photographing strangers... ie.."Mum don't... its sooooo embarrasing"... *insert sulky teenage smiley in here*

I managed to get a couple of sneaky ones done before they dragged me away though...

Mum - 1
Kids - 0

Love the treatment on this Sue. Very gritty and real.

Yes, very nice. Very urban, very 'real'. I reckon the guy on the left doesn't quite have the 'cool' factor of the other two (insofar as I can possibly be a judge of that!) but I think a crop/edit to exclude him and the errant leg of the 'other' person would be hard. And besides, it also kind of works with him there, sentinel-style.

What part of bum bags isn't cool?

Seriously, great photo. I like the fact that all three are facing roughly in the same direction and there is an implied [reverse] J-curve from guy on left down to girl in middle up a bit to the guy on the right. It is either the economist in me coming out or it adds some dynamicism to the shot.

That's one of the better street shots I've seen for a long time. I also love the processing you have carried out..very sympathetic to the subject. That's a shot looking for a competition to win.

It could almost be captioned "Waiting for the Parade".

Arghhhhhhh! How could I have not noticed that leg there before... now its really annoying me... first job when I gets home is to get out the clone brush.. alright.. it might be my second job.. after I pour myself a nice drink...

Thanks for your c and c too guys..

Nice street capture, despite your kid's best (or worst) intentions...

Would look good in BW.
