Street Street photography (Image thread)

back in 1991 the rap/hip hop group "Naughty by Nature" scored at top 10 hit with the song O.P.P. To them OPP stood for "Other Peoples _______" you can fill in the blank.

Anyway one thing I like to shoot when I am on the streets is other peoples photographs. I often find tourists posing for pictures that someone else they know takes of them. Most often I miss that fleeting moment but sometimes I get lucky,

This lady was posing in this tree for a shot taken by her boyfriend. This tree is directly across the street from the White House and it took major stones to climb that tree

Javier: you got some marbles (for lack of a better word) young man. If I were younger guy with lots of hair, I too would be
out and about the town. Now I'm content just to shoot stationary objects that can't chase me down.

You go bro...

Cheers,
Pete

ps. I have truly come to appreciate all you public shooters, your effort and fine work here at SC. Great job
 
Just a word to say that I'm shifting my domain to a new server, so all my pics are going to disappear for a while. Normal service will be resumed as soon as I suss out how to furnish the new digs.
 
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I don't know how you guys do it. This man looks like he's about to blow his top off at me (even though I was clearly snapping random photos around me and not just at them), although in these two shots I was conscious of wanting to catch a photo of a man enjoying ice cream with his kids/grandkids:

TraamisVOS people are sometimes suspicious of pictures being taken of their children. In England now it is considered something you shouldn't do without permission. Perhaps that is why he looks annoyed.
 
this one is pretty good :)

Thanks javier, I am always impressed and envious of your street photography.

Thanks Will, I did have that thought at the back of my head while I was snapping those photos I guess, it's something which extends outside of England too.
