Great stuff, Johnny, as usual.

My favorites:
1, 4, 6, 8, 18

Question: how on earth do you manage to grab candids as close as No. 19, for
example, without the subject(s) looking at you?  Ten times out of ten, I try
that shot--the subject looks at me before I can snap it.  Maybe I'm spending
too much time focusing--but I'm fairly fast with that now.  I'd figure I
could only get a shot like 19 by holding the camera up and snapping
immediately before anyone knew what happened.

I _can_ manage candids like nos. 2 & 7--where the subject's attention is
distracted elsewhere.  But 19, or even 9--no way; I'm just not that quick.
