Good morning from Solihull, UK.

Many thanks Marcus, your comments are well received, especially having just viewed your entire flicker photo stream. Inspirational stuff.

Thanks again Nigel... Ditto from me.
Must also mention, your consideration towards your 'subjects' (Approaching strangers - an idiot's guide) is inspiring indeed. Should be 'required reading' for aspiring shooters of the street IMHO.

Wow - your photobucket pictures are simply brilliant!!! I spent quite a while looking through them all - couldn't drag myself away from them, just had to keep looking at more and more . Mind-blowing, inspirational stuff indeed .

Hi Nigel, and welcome here.
I agree with others who have read your article on approaching strangers - very well written, and a very healthy and considerate attitude manifested. You have touched upon many nuances that some "street/candid" photographers sort of gloss over...we should open a discussion on this sometime here...

Hi Quester, thank you for your kind comments. My approach is still a work in progress, but try to ground it with respect.

Hi Nigel! A belated welcome to this forum. I read your article and looked at your pictures, all wonderful! I liked in particular those of the oriental girl, very well done.

Hi Gab and thank you for your comments and welcome. I was very lucky to find that girl. Her name is Sal, and it turned out she had alopecia totals, so I felt privileged to photograph her. I found out that she had some issues, but has overcome her fears and visited a 'proper' photographer and has been taken on by the agency. She has been brave enough to be photographed without anything on her head.
