I love street photography but not so much that I want to be injured for it and this could have been my last post. The girl is not expressing surprise but fear as she can see the motorbike about to hit me and screams 'watch out' and the motorcyclist's  comments as he brushed past are not repeatable. He was doing  London taxi's ' The Knowledge'  but fortunately he looked up from his map and swerved in time. I  was taking Capa's maxim ' if your photos are not good enough then you are not close enough'  too literally.  Ironic that this paramedic nearly ended up in the back of an ambulance, but  she was a little distracting!

Dilemma

 Wandering the streets of my city I met  Ade and Ben busking in a doorway and they wanted some urban shots for their portfolio. I suggested more action so  tried the 'Abbey Road' angle where  Ben nearly got hit by a big white limo. We then  heard  football  fans chanting so of course followed and below are the results of this chance encounter.
 
In spring 2012  Peterborough museum  reopens  and they  have asked me to select my favourite hundred for an exhibition in  their new galleries. My dilemma is which one do  I submit  and why. A  title would be appreciated too.
