Description Maybe part of a lost frames series? This is back from 2006, when i was still shooting film...

I was inspired by =Ockie to post this. Its one of the only eye contact shots I ever took, so its something special.

I dont know why i never posted it, I really like it.

Very brave- I'm so shy with taking photos of others, I'd just die if I took one like this. It's gorgeous! Someday I'll conquer my demons and do more street photography...

I'm trying! On a good note, one of my photos just got published in a magazine... On a bad note, they don't attribute ANY of their photos, so my name isn't by it. But it's published and credited on their internet page! !!
That photo is as close as I get to any kind of eye-contact/street photography. This is my first portrait session.

Yeah, but this is their internet page- it's not in the actual magazine. But it's a start!

hmm, well still get a tear sheet of the magazine, AND online, which basically shows you have been published

That's the plan! Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to continue with my degree, as my student loans have been denied (stupid American Economy problems)- so no more Cambridge, no more awesome Europe photos... back to work.

Eye contact can be really hard to make... nice work.

At the moment its really a bit of a problem to me to be noticed or get eye contact when shooting street, even if it can result in a strong capture.

Somewhat ironic, for him to be sitting right across from something almost real, and having something somewhat fictitious sitting by his side. A source of comfort, if that were possible, when the coveted cannot be had.
