There's nothing like getting out on the street while most people are still in bed. Where you would normally find hustle and bustle, there's just an Eerie calm and quietness. This shot was taken with the X-Pro1 and the 18mm f2. If you have an X-Pro1, make sure you update the firmware to v1.01. it's a great improvement for both camera and lenses. The lens chatter is now almost silent.
Sleeping It Off
6:45am, 21st of April 2012 in Glasgow, Scotland. Not the warmest place to have spent the night. Although the first bus will be along soon, I'm pretty sure he'll be walking home as he either spent all of his money the night before, or he'll have been relieved of it during the night.
Three Stripes And Your Out!
I don't know if he fell on hard times recently (very recently judging by the jacket) or if he had been lying there from the night before. Some people stopped to see if he was alive or dead, but most just looked and walked on. I did neither. I stopped and took photos. You don't have to make as many difficult choices when you're a photographer!
Old People Love Stunts Too!
You don't have to be young to like doing stunts. I think the hack in the foreground must be the ultimate freestyler. I grabbed this shot while the riders were off spraying their tags on a wall. For Shizzle Dog!
Glass Off Port
This just might be the first square crop on 35mmStreet (I could be wrong). Does this even count as street photography?
Clock Watcher
Are you watching his clock or clocking his watch? I thought that on the face of it, I should take the time to post this photo.
Not Backward At Coming Forward
I almost cropped this from thigh up, but I thought it might be a bit subtle and some peeps might miss the hands. Sometimes the future isn't what it used to be!
Claire De Looney
The girl on the left must be a photographer because she has GAS (gear acquisition syndrome). The one in the middle has some other type of syndrome, but I'm not sure it's been named yet. And did you spot the pirate with a pistol? This shot was taken at the Wizard Festival in the north of Scotland using the X100. Enjoy Friday the 13th and have a great weekend!
Embraceable You
It was so hard to come up with a title for this one! It's just a slightly surreal photo. The two guys on the left almost look as though they are dancing and as always the blondes assume you're pointing the camera at them?
