NOSUMO - No Sudden Movement
Self-Portrait Challenge: 5-30-07

Here’s my last street shot for the month. In previous weeks I had no trouble with getting strangers into the photos but this week everyone seemed so conscious of the fact someone was taking pictures and tried to avoid getting in the shot. I have a pile of images of me motioning to people to just walk in front of the camera.

This guy was giving us the evil eye the whole time, I don’t think he was too thrilled about potentially ending up in my shot. Too bad, we got you anyway Mr. Hat.

You can see what others are doing this week at the self-portrait challenge.

This is my favourite street shot, although the one with the flowers, reminding me of your spanish grandmother was a close second.

I’m holding thumbs for you know what and I also hold thumbs that the weather on freak island is good.

After spending the week with a user who beliefs that jesus in our only saviour and only sluts meet people over the internet I am ready to immigrate.

I had to look at the large version to see what that large animal tush on the left was all about. Then I saw that Mr. Hat is totally posing. This was probably the highlight of his biennial.
I think the news of the adoption approval is fantastic. My best to you, the associate and the bambino.
