Smokers are great for candids, they have to be outside, whatever the weather, they generally aren't moving a lot either. Might start a whole series of smoking shots at this rate. Don't get me wrong though, it's a filthy habit! These guys were on my left hand side as I approached which gave me a problem as a righthander. My phone was already clamped to my right ear, I had to improvise. So, "accidentally" dropping my wheely suitcase to the floor I could stop, turn and get the shot. Now, i'm not sure if they knew I was taking their picture but they were definitely looking at me. Tall guys smile says to me either a) he's just dropped his suitcase so he can snap us, nutter or b) he's just dropped his suitcase, hahaha (nutter)
Truly great stuff Richard - both the photo and narrative. I've experienced the charade too in order to get a candid. I love how you break it down. You're right about smokers being an easy mark and funny too.
nutter!
