Looks like me the one time I tried to run the high hurdles in high school. I made it over the first three and crashed over several more while finishing up with a complete “run through” of the last one. Coach said i should stick to the 880 … more my style … nothing in my way.
Oh … great shot, Oops … love the black, bricks, wood tones and the b&w contrast of her skin-hair-clothing … she’s looking right into the lens which is excellent.
Thanks… Looking is okay as long as they’re not “posing.” With my camera I can “shoot from the hip” but it is surprising how many notice what I’m doing – particularly the homeless, they size you up immediately, don’t miss a trick. They take one look at my camera (which I keep securely wrapped around my wrist) and think: Pawnshop!
Recently I have begun to explore a new genre, street photography.
The thrill is palpable in never quite knowing what’s down the alley and around the corner and whether it’s friendly, or not.
I’m learning as I go.  And as long as I don’t stumble over a tripwire or step on a punji stick I hope to post interesting images for your enjoyment.

Coach rolled his eyes and told me that I was “built for comfort, not for speed.” 🙂

Just another good reason not to be in alleys isolated from traffic or shooting at night …
