Javier, is that Will Smith? If so, hardly qualifies as 'stranger'

Xhanatos - that last one in the window is WOW~!

I have no problems in askin' people on the street for their picture. For me, every time its jus' like askin' a girl out on a date, if you have no fear of rejection, then its easy. If you don't ask, you don't get.

Those that lack confidence, are too embarrassed or self conscious need not apply really.

I saw these guys sittin’ down at the end of a narrow alley jus’ off the Charing Cross Road, outside some guitar stores in London (my hometown). I asked ‘em for a picture and they obliged. I really like the natural pose they offered, not that they bothered to pose at all, they jus’ stayed at ease and totally disregarded the camera. Which was cool!

Nice Paul. I too have no problem shooting folks, though I usually don't ask.

Yea, that's will. I was just seeing if anyone was paying attention. I have a pretty good collection of celeb images.

Totally blew the focus on this quick shot, but I sort of like it anyway.

Mike, I have been finding that allot of what we see as mistakes, turn out to be pretty good. I have a few similar that I like as well. They add a mystery to them. Hard to explain.

Here is a photo where i've tried to incorporate elements from two of my most favourite photographers - Garry Winogrand and Elliott Erwitt.

This is on the Charing Cross Road in London...a very patient dog.
