i'm not much of a street photographer, but i sure have this knack for finding the most cliched of subjects and scenarios. this shot looks so posed, but i swear it isn't. i was just walking to the tate modern on my first day in london and ofcourse, getting my first taste for foggy london mornings. as we reached waterloo bridge, i saw this man who looked like he had to be joking. no serious man would be sitting on a bridge at 8:30 in the morning reading with his bike leaned against him - and most of all, wearing a bowler's hat. this was a scene out of a movie.
so the ever ready me took a photo of him and just as i did he looked up. one of my few street shots where the subject has actually noticed me(i'm quite surreptitious). this man looked rather annoyed, so i sort of got a bit lost for words and just smiled awkwardly in a "i'm a japanese tourist, i swear!" way. but then he smiled back in a "well i guess i am in a photo-worthy pose right now" way. when i walked pass him i turned around and asked him for another shot. but he was facing the sun this time, so had a funny squinting expression on his face.
i think if all else fails, when i grow up i can take photographs for tacky travel books.
This is so great! Jeez, I would so love to be a street photographer, but I don't think I'm any good at it. I'm always really cautious and worried about others seeing me taking photos of them! XD You were so brave to turn around and ask for another photo, I'd have to grow oodles of confidence before I could actually ask to take someone's photo.
Anyway, this is really fantastic!
i'm really shy too, but once eye contact is made, i guess it's a lot less daunting. i mean, it means they've already noticed that you're taking a photo of them, so why not ask for another one? just say please and thankyou.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
