Once again thank you so much for such informative experience. I went into town today with my daughter and used my eyes as the camera as I can't take candid photos with her around as she is too loud and distracting and saw so many wonderful opportunities like a guy wearing red trousers, white backpack and blue hair - hey the union jack flag lol! Also, a couple of old folks chatting I think they hadn't seen each other in a while cos I caught a snippet of their conversation. Elderly folk always make the most compelling candids. There were teenagers hanging out together and families out for strolls. There was a tramp sitting down with his dog. I saw a painter having a rest sitting on his ladder rolling up a cigarette and a lady sitting alone and having a smoke outside a cafe. It was street photography heaven!

Next Saturday I'll definately take the camera out and this time ON MY OWN. My daughter like to come with me taking photos but street photography I can't do with her as she gets right in the way of shots and as you know with candid photos you have to be quick! I end up yelling "Out the friggin way" which draws attention
