If you don't want me to take your photograph,
don't sit near me in a coffee shop and look interesting.

The January theme for City Daily Photo bloggers is "Photo of the Year."
Sneaky eh! Your photos were worth it. I am gradually loosing my fear of photographing people in public.
ReplyDeleteBoth the top and bottom photo portraits are the most interesting. The woman with the red accessories looks like a no-nonsense person on a mission . . . making a persuasive point to her companion whereas the female in the last photo is both carefree and happy.,perhaps describing her recent engagement. So much fun to make up stories about them.
ReplyDeleteI love these. I like candid photos very much. These turned out well, especially the first and last photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's been lovely catching up on missed posts Jack.. and I see a new rather handsome profile shot :) I have decided one of my New Year 's resolutions is definitely going to be the 'Jack from Hartford 's' approach to portrait taking..just ask!
ReplyDeleteGreat set of images! Love them.
ReplyDeleteI do love your "people" shots, Jack, you sneaky guy!! The first and last ones are fantastic!! I look forward to lots more in the coming year!! I do wish you a very Happy New Year! Make the most of if, fill it with fun and photos and above all, ENJOY!!

Oh you are a sneaky photographer! I've done this many times but have never gotten such great results. That lady in the last shot has a wonderful smile!
ReplyDeleteGood going, Jack! Some great portraits here. You may have a new vocation as a street photographer!
ReplyDeleteAnd none of them notice you. I'm guilty of this, too.
ReplyDeleteI love casual portraits snapped out of life. Always good. And yours are truly remarkable.

Love that last shot. I tried this one and got nothing but dirty looks.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and spontaneous pictures, Jack, but I'm glad not to be near you... :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right!
ReplyDeleteThe innocent look is as important as patience. Well done - great results!
ReplyDeleteThese are great, Jack! I'm still too timid to attempt portraits.
ReplyDeleteLove your first and last photo. The other folks are on cell phones probably ignoring the people sitting at their table.
ReplyDeleteNice candid shots. People watching is always interesting.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Great sneak shots!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful 2014!
Always fun to sohot candids at a cafe.
ReplyDeleteI like your commentary on top of the post! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at this..... taking wonderful images of strangers, and I liked your comment at the top too.
ReplyDeletehahahha. thats the right attitude!
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots, Jack. I love the expression of the woman in the last shot.
ReplyDeleteI"m having trouble with the "looking innocent " part.
