We've seen Danny before on this blog. A couple of guys went to Cardiff last weekend, and whilst looking for street photos to take they were taken in by the police for questioning.

I take a lot of photos of kids, none of htem my own, but all with permission. I'm really not a fan of people taking random "candids" of children, and cna understand why the police are worried. It might seem heavy-handed, but they were let go pretty quickly, and at least it shows the police were paying attention.

Eamon went to Cardif...

and met people who look very like the people he meets in London.

Interesting huh?

This week, we've got quite a few shots from Cardiff. Poor guy in a bunny suit in the town centre. Getting his photo taken might have been the highlight of his day.

she is 72 years old and swims every day, rain or shine. It must help because she certainly looks sprightly and much younger than 72.

A wonderful portrait of another fisherman, this time in Dungeness, the furthest south-east tip of the UK.

A wonderful wide angle shot, that really emphasises the massive space out there. I hope he caught something because those clouds look like they're coming fast.

enjoying a joke with a friend, this lovely lady was willing to have her photo taken in Middlesborough.

What was the joke? Will we ever know?

This particular paperman is selling the Bristol Evening Post.

I'm sure he could be seen in just about any town up and down the country though. Love the shirt too.

conversation at the market - Cardiff

i had the great pleasure of meeting maciej the other night. check out his stuff, whilst we are mainly about asking people, he doesn't, and yet finds himself in situations where the rest of us wouldn't dare to go.

so he manages to find all the characters there are to find on the streets of Cardiff.
