CHRIS PORSZ – STREET PHOTOGRAPHER

True Grit!

Please do not misconstrue this photo as the lady is actually happy with me taking her picture. When I pointed my camera at her this was a spontaneous reaction and she carried on laughing and joking with me. This fantastic and unexpected response is what makes street photography so exciting. I walk miles with nothing to show for it  and then this which makes it all so worthwhile.

Yes, really great shot, Chris. Interesting first comment from you. This photo could be misinterpreted. I wonder how many photos we see are not what they seem.

Yes the expression 'camera never lies' springs to mind. I felt the need to explain as I did not want viewers to think I had reduced a little elderly lady to anger with my street photography.
