It was my reply to comments that someone working on a street stall and who didn't want to be photographed must be 1) an illegal immigrant, 2) dodgy. Can now add 3) fradulently claiming benefits. All suppositions. That's it.

You can see stalls exactly the same as his in every big town in Europe at the weekends. As to the origin of the goods - that's an essay unto itself. Yep he's not caucasian, yep he doesn't want his picture taken. Don't read too much into either of those things. Namaste

I'd chuck it - for the reason that he didn't want to be photographed.

Ta v much! Glad you like it - I was thinking of it as a book cover myself (maybe should get myself an agent!) but yeah can see it in a vaguely Hipgnosis style..... right, better stop dreaming now. Cheers

Hi all Recently bought Olympus OM2, 50mm f1.4, couple of shots from the first roll through - Ilford something-or-other ISO 400

Thanks Cg! Are you tempted to try a film camera? - you should be able to pick up a decent one for £20-£30 or so to see if you like it. The welcome here has been great! Cheers

Thanks Sarah! I'm not proud about the 16 cameras...it was just a phase...I'm better now.....:whistling:

Hi, I've just spent a fun couple of hours reading some posts on the Film thread, and thought it'd be a good idea to get involved. I haven't as yet joined any other photography forums, but I'm looking forward to making a contribution here - everybody seems friendly, which makes a nice change...
