Mr Grumpy Pants
A perfect example of how the story telling of a photograph can be utterly misleading. So if you're looking at this you'll almost surely think that quite angry look was directed at me. But I'm almost certain it wasn't. In case it's not entirely evident he is on a bicycle and he was approaching a junction, hence him looking my way to check for traffic. I admit that I did set him up for this as I'd seen him approaching and so was set up to take the shot as he went past.
The trick of the street photographer is to make the subject think they are NOT the object of the camera's attention. Sometimes we are more successful than others.
