Photography is the means. The end is getting me out of the house. I've been a novice photographer for 50 years (since my daughter was born). As you can see below, I'm drawn to candid faces, attitudes, but most of all "style". For the past couple years I've taken most of my pictures from a single place - from my folding rocking chair on the sidewalk beside a pocket park around the corner. I'm less a "street photographer" than a "seat photographer". I make no attempt to be surreptitious, nor am I the least inconspicuous.
(P.S.: Please DO NOT FOLLOW ME if you have pornographic images among your photos or those you have faved. I visit the pages of all those who follow me and promptly block any of those with pornography. Thank you for being considerate.)

In my opinion, your photos are the best of this type on Flickr. Love these!!!

These are some of the best candid photos on Flickr - I applaud your eye in catching people in such great style and form
If there is one photographer on Flickr I would love to be a fly on the wall while he creates his images, it’s silvrnm. The absolute master of tasteful street photography. This work is timeless - it will still be enjoyable to look at years from now.
Silvrmn is a master of candid photography and provides us all with a glimpse of high society in Chicago from the enchanted land known as "The Viagra Triangle".

Silvrmn is a master of candid photography and provides us all with a glimpse of high society in Chicago from the enchanted land known as "The Viagra Triangle". The first time I saw Silvrmn's photos, I realized that he had photographed a subject that I had seen on the same day probably minutes before him, but I had declined to take the photo for some reason or another. Since then, his work has inspired me to be more audacious and to not pass up good shots when they present themselves.
