These 40 Photos Weren’t Planned Or Staged, They Just Happened And I Was There To Catch Them
I have been a street photographer for 14 years. I have shot in Tucson, San Francisco, and New York City. When I am on the street I always looking for candid moments to capture. I enjoy the serendipitous moments one can find when the actions of people create an intriguing image.

Ooo. You do not want to píss off a male iguana when he's got his full cllours on like that. They will go into full-on attack mode if you're wearing red, and they can also sense if a woman is menstruating and that can prompt a nasty incident too.

I was working on my house and in an awkward position when I noticed I was making a perfect barking dog shadow puppet at the other end of the hall. Yes, we stopped to converse a bit.

I thought the mannequin in the back was real and she was carrying the umbrella with the pizza. Honestly, I think the mannequin is throwing me. Its something i had to study for a couple minutes to put it all together. All that put together makes it a great picture.

For a split second I thought that the box had "vicious pizza" written on it! Yep, still waiting for my cataract operation!

Your comment is pathetically complimentary, you obviously felt "cowed" into saying that. You herd me. cow-68839d...cc7ed.jpeg

I wish I knew, too. I was about 3 meters away, but couldn't hear their conversation.

Now who should our third person be when we walk into a bar and start a joke?

From the uniform she looks like a nurse. Would scare the devil out of me to wake up from an operation and have her face looking down on me.

Exactly what I was thinking. Wake up from surgery and think you’ve gone to hell

I've never understood why people have face tattoos... Back in the day, you had difficulty getting certain jobs with even a hand tattoo, lol. My brother had to wear a plaster over his one, at work. Things have certainly changed. :-)

Spontaneous street photos don't happen if you ask. As it happens, while it might be polite, it is not legally required to ask permission to photograph anyone in a public setting.

Was watching people feed French fries to seagulls, with my girlfriend at the time. Her: "Hey look, that one has ketchup on its beak!" Me: "Um..they are always colored like that." Her: "...oh."

No. They were promoting "Chicago" on Broadway.

I bet he can sink that shot every time, to make it look easy, assuming he works there.

The hoops at these carnivals have been bent so they are more oval than round. You can see it when viewed from the side, but not from the front. As a result, it is very difficult to make a basket.

Didn't they close this down because people were flashing at the remote location (believe it's Dublin)?
Don Scott (Submission author) 4 months ago (edited)
There was a problem for a while, so they had a guard stationed there. And yes, a real-time feed between New York City and Dublin.

It was actually a portal to Dublin. Look it up.

Too bad the new world portal has to be guarded and fenced off. But it's okay they will soon build a mosque over the old world portal

Judging by the face, I think somebody got left stuck holding the ice cream. Its not a glamorous job but somebody's got to do it. A sticky, melty, thankless job!

Great moments! Splendid colors! Wonderful movement! It's so disappointing, though, to have to see all the commentary from people who are neither funny nor original. I try to scroll past but it always catches my eye. Folks, you don't have to post everything that comes into your head. Honestly.
