@Dimitrios: Agreed. Such is the eternal element of chance of the street shooter. Thanks, Dimitrios!
cheers mate for all the comms etc. Ive been checking in now and again but been feeling rather unmotivated recently. We all hit our walls though dont we. anyway Love this, and if you don't know this guy its quite an act of bravery as he looks like he's more than capable of inflicting his fair share of damage. I can imagine the headline...'a team of doctors labored to remove a camera...lucky it wasn't a large format'

@Cassidy: Heh! Thanks, Cassidy from Afghanistan - if that is your real name! Time to jump back on that horse, realise what you're doing is valuable, and break through that wall. In the words of Bigfoot, 'tear low self-esteem a new a--hole'.
Anyway, this picture: as I said, looks can be deceiving, and in this case, what looks like a cocked fist is actually a hand cradling a cell phone. Probably was talking to his mommy. The electro-method here: let the camera do the looking and don't stop walking.
hah! This is a nice candid crisp sharp image !!! Very nice

@Kheoh Yee Wei: Thanks, Kheoh!!!
Ha, numero uno. Great conversion to b&w here Damon, sharp work, I agree with Kheoh, the candidness of this scene works very well for the viewer, makes the scene quite involving. Nice work!

@Daniel: Thanks, Daniel! Scene explained to 'Cassidy' above.
Now that's a cool guy! :) The B/W works great in this shot. Very nice! The title remains me of an old Boomtown Rats song. ('Looking After Number One')

@Putter: Thanks, Putter! I'll have to look up that song.
