ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The nice thing about being behind the camera is that I'm relatively practiced at blending into the street, not often becoming the subject of attention. This, however, was not the case at Oxford Circus, where after shooting the first photo, I found the open-shirted guy shown, now shirtless, standing immediately next to me while I photographed the street crowds. I moved, took some shots, and found him directly next to me again. -- Um, no thank you. -- Photos two and three were taken from across the street with my 85mm as he continued to pose and search the crowds for someone who might notice.Elsewhere: Bertien Van Manen, New York Stories from Valeria Picerno, Time Slice Photos, and On the Road with Lee Friedlander.

Creepy...
that's a frightening story...
Very weird... love the first shot, though. The plaid guy reminds me one of the "zombies" in the opening of Shaun of the Dead.
The middle shot came out really good. Could be an advert for nike!
Creepy story, although, as usual really nice shots.
I agree with grant, middle shot, just stunning!
Love streep works.Great shots
