Lomography Horizon Perfekt. CN film, f/8 1/250 ASA100
I'm still way far from real street photography where the pros are bold enough to shoot at 3 metres or nearer, practically placing the camera right on the nose of some strangers on the streets.

I noticed the shotgun with a (real?) dagger attached, so I decided to 'shoot' him from the back :)
With friendlier faces however (for example Mr & Mrs Santa - Yes, it was Christmas!), I had no problem asking permission to get a close-up though.

On the streets, I used to rush from Point A to Point B, walking quickly ignoring the people I don't know. Seldom did I give a thought to anything I saw if that was not what I was looking for. However, since I started learning to take picture on the streets it makes me more observant of the going-ons around me, and I tend to slow down and not hurry to get to my next destination.

Street pictures are rewarding; it's a new experience for me and it makes me appreciate photography better. And I may be lucky enough and offered another Lollie :)

Good shots, Horsoon! :)
Me -- I'm still leery of taking photos of stranger's faces -- or even asking them if I can take their picture... that is, unless they're manning their stalls, that kind of thing!
I like Mr & Mrs Santa.
Your street pictures looks very real and interesting.
