A few shots from last week.

The second Pic titled closed was a true candid attempt.
I was shooting the third picture titled New Spec when I looked behind me and saw the seen. This has happened on more than one occasion. Always look behind you on the street!
Looks like I got busted. He wasn't sure if I took his picture or not. My camera was moving right to left like I was shooting a video. Stopped ever so briefly to get the snap. Needless to say this was one of my rare shots that I did not get a model release.
All great shots,as usual.No.1 is my favorite. Thanks.
The Shot of RIchard Johnson was shot in a dark recessed part of a building where light was clipping across the front of his face. Think-- shooting in garage with your subject standing at the door.
What little bit of the lit background that was showing was killed in post processing. I loved the light so much I thought I would do the monochrome in a fine art style. What I loved most about the shot was how the hair dropped down into darkness. Sometimes you get lucky and the subject has a solid black shirt.

Most of my days on the street don't turn out so good. Usually I get 1 photo that I like. On this day I got three. The candid was the most prized for me. I could have never thought to set up a shot like that.

Comments welcome.

P.S. Yes JR1... I used monochrome(in my text above) for you and my other English friends. Now all you have to do is convince NAPP to start using the word Monochrome(LOL)
