two wheeler with training wheels - brent

This is a family shot - all 4 (appeared) to belong together. The boy always held back behind the front guard.

The lady on the left who looks very stern - actually giggled and said "Take Pictures?" when she passed by.

I look through the viewfinder until a shot presents itself - and then when the people are almost on me I look up and past them. Evidently this ruse does not work very well in making it seem like I am not really taking pictures of them.

I like this photo. It seems that the boy don't trusts in you, but there is not problem, because he is escorted by a pair of competent bodyguards! endika

Hahahaha. I like your comments, Brent. I've learned that that technique for street shooting works best when there's really something interesting back there; otherwise when they look over their shoulders, bam, busted! ;-) By the way, I love the boy's expression. Great catch.

Nice shoot again I like the B/W in this shoot.

Makes me wonder if he is trying to find a way to steer a course between the two ladies or just trying to keep pace. Great catch.

This made me chuckle, look at the expression on the little boys face. Good timing! Very cute.
