pinkheadedbug.com has some fantastic street photographs by a guy called John Brownlow. The site is particularly interesting to me as there are galleries devoted to several London locations, including Oxford Street, Speaker’s Corner and the Notting Hill Carnival. There’s also tips and techniques for getting over the common problems of street photography, the biggest one being your own fear of openly taking pictures of complete strangers…

“A lot of my pictures have eye contact. In fact, I seek it out. Some people don?t like that, but I do. It?s a moment of connection. That?s what I?m after.

Some aspiring street photographers are afraid of getting into confrontations, or even getting hit.

Well, good. You should be afraid of getting hit. if you?re not afraid of that, you?re an idiot, or possibly an ice hockey player.”
