Sometimes you see somebody on the street that has their whole life ingrained on their face. This man is one of those people. They say every picture tells a story, but this one for me is an epic. Maybe he's a photographer too (did you spot his Lowepro bag)? Click Here to go large.
Crazy Nights & Lonely Days
Dropped my wife and kids off at the bus station for their through the night journey to London visiting friends for a week. It didn't surprise me that after taking about three photographs in the bus station, I was aproached by an employee and told that I couldn't take photos without a permit. Sadly, this has become the norm in the UK. Big Brother loves to watch us, but doesn't like to be watched.
This guy was in my last post in the exact same place. Does he stay here? Does he have mail delivered here?
Shooting street photography at night is a lot different from during the day. Alcohol makes the world a crazy violent place, plus women don't wear a lot of clothes. Sometimes you feel that people think you're a pervert with a camera.
I've no idea how long this guy was waiting here for...or why
Subways, train stations and airports always have some sort of tractor beam. I don't know why!
I just loved the colour and the way this building was lit.
I loved this shot of the Rogano Oyster Bar as soon as I put my eye to the viewfinder. It's like a time warp, due to the traditional dress of the employee
First Day On The Street With The Fujifilm X100
My first day shooting on the street with the Fujifilm X100 and I'm blown away by how good it is for street photography. It's size is perfect and hardly anyone notices the camera when you walk around with it in your hand turned inward by your side. Set it on silent mode by pressing and holding the Disp/Back button for a couple of seconds and it's even more stealth than a Leica.
Security - Keep this guy off my stage.
I just missed the guy on the escalator sticking his tongue out at me.
The X100's meter does a great job in all sorts of lighting conditions.
iPad 2 was released in the UK today. I forgot about it until I showed up at the Apple store and couldn't get in.

I wasn't as invisible as I thought!
