Rick, Krycek, Louis, Stuart, Steve and Her Berger - Thank you, and very funny and I get you on the Maserati vs Jag comparison.  But fwiw, Maserati is slowly killing its brand just like Jag with its economy models.   :o

nice one but he is unhappy being captured ;) I always try to avoid pcituring these kind of people in the streets :)

Thanks.  If I was on your streets, I might feel the same... :ph34r:

Don't worry, no one kills street photographers around Turkey or Dubai, wherever you tried to mention.

 

Of course not. But not everyone who looks unhappy in a photo actually is. Photos do tend to "lie"...

He and i actually struck up a very friendly conversation after i took this. But the photo doesnt tell you this, which is why i like it...

That look might tell any of several stories. As a street photo, perhaps the i clination is to infer irritation at the pic being taken.

 

But if it were a commercial photo, the quicker inference to be drawn is, I think, about the irritation of riding this rental bike.

 

Maseratti is broken? Maybe he has Prius envy for the car he just passed. On his way to a meeting to which he's surely not eager to attend? 

 

There's lots of street shots where I wish the subject didn't look at the camera, but for this shot, I wouldn't want to dispense with it!

 

I was glad to hear Adam's follow up about the chat. I suspect that implies he wasnt on the way to an HR meeting to receive his walking (whacking) papers.

Adam,

 

quite a good catch.

The guy looks unhappy and makes an awkward figure on this rental bike. Nice to follow all those imaginary stories here. that is what street is about..... :)

Thanks, Breton and Iduna.

Brenton - I think the intended implication is that, if and when needed, I can apply sufficient degree of charm to diffuse a potentially volatile situation... :)
