kiotsukete! gleek.

Eeep!
At least her folder doesn't clash with the jacket.... :-)

Great pics as usual :-) Am wondering wether you have a good zoom or if people are so relaxed around you ...?

Ha! I think I've perfected what Matt calls my "Secret Squirrel" shot. You know, the casual, "Look at that tree! I think I'll take a photo of the... whoopsy daisy, camera slipped...". Of course, credit goes to the zoom as well.

I'm not a shoverer of the camera in people's faces or particularly obvious (although I may be simply deluded here)... it's amazing what people will do in front of you if they think you're taking a photo of that thar tree.

Thanks, will try that ;-)

yeah, pretending like you are taking pictures of something else.. or just being stealthy about it has worked for me. i've managed to catch some great shots of strange things on the subway in NYC that way.
