I really appreciate your comment B.D. I never had any strong interest in
taking photographs (always appreciated it as art) until I was shown a
Winogrand book last Winter. Something clicked in my head and I tried out a
bunch of cameras, bought a Leica and started taking photos. I feel like
I'm often 'seeing the photographs' on the street but...
...I'm always a second too late, incorrrectly exposed/focused or just plain
old _too chickenshit_ to put the camera to my face and take the picture.
I'm taking photos everyday and I'm getting better. It's damn frustrating
though.
I'll try to work this image in PS but I'm a complete novice with that too.
It was really bright that day so I'm not optimistic. If you have a chance,
look at PAWs #2,3,4 for more of the things I'm seeing on the street here.
Warning - I'm still very much exposure-challenged:

It may be the best of five discouraging rolls, but it may just be the
closest thing to real street photography I've seen posted on the LUG. Can
you possibly bring up the faces on the two people reflected in the window?

Forgive the troll title... This is the best of a discouraging 5 rolls last
week. As always, TIA for any criticism.
