Vasaplatsen, Gothenburg [Explore] - a photo on Flickriver

Vasaplatsen, Gothenburg [Explore]

            I spotted this man stepping out from the dry cleaner and the wind took a steady grip on his coat and tie.
After I' d taken the photo he approached me and asked what the purpose of my photo was. I did of course take my time to explain what street photo is all about. We then came into the legal aspects of photo in public spaces. No surprise that he worked as a lawyer :)
We talked for about 5 minutes and after that we parted, I had my lunch and he was off to work.

This shows the importance to be prepared to talk about what and why we shoot street life, letting the person you just taken a photo of, without asking first, question your motives and diffuse a potentially tense situation
