Postcard from a Sydney suburb: Good mates

Dalloway Fish has added a photo to the pool:

Postcard from a Sydney suburb: Good mates

Asking strangers if I can take their photo pushed me out of my comfort zone this week, but it was a thrilling and rewarding experience (folk are so amenable about these things). But it was only once I reviewed the images back home that I realised just how difficult the job is to photograph people on the street - approaching people is one thing, getting a shot that is well framed, incorporates the street and is an artistic statement is another - and it all has to be achieved in a few moments.

I thank these two ladies - they had great spirit. I am kicking myself that I didnt ask your names, please accept that Im a street photographer in training.

Images taken for a street photography course. This week: People & Colour. More to follow.

Many thanks to the folk of Sydney.
