I guess I sometimes see people themselves looking in my opinion photogenic. I combination of thier clothes and faces and wrinkles, makes you feel like you know them and their lives even If their not doing anything extraordinary.

Last week I saw three Moroccan women walking down the street together, we have a large Moroccan community here. They weren't doing anything in particular appart from walking but I found the combination of ages, the fact that they were all in traditional garb and even their combination of heights to be appealing, in a photographic sense.

I supposed I could have taken a picture but Its just not me. If I'd gone up to them and said do you mind if I take your picture then I don't think I could gotten the same natural poses. Just three friends walking down the street.

I'm not explaining myself well. What I mean is that sometimes its just the person themselves that interests my eye. I don't know if I'll ever be able to capture that.
