April Photography Competition: Strangers

I know that bench. I have sat on it myself, probably with a similar expression on my face. My shirt wasn't gaping though, being a tee shirt. It is near the Festival Theatre. The bench that is, not my shirt which is now nowhere near to Paignton.
 
Entry 1 - The concern of strangers

Was walking near Beaubien metro station in Montreal when I saw a crowd of people and an ambulance, turned out an old fella had tripped and fallen. Was nice to see completely unconnected people stop and stay with him to make sure he was ok. :)

Nice to see that there are kind people who'll stop and help in a situation like that - concern of strangers indeed... nice one kage :)
 
I am almost paranoid about photographing people, it makes me feel too voyeristic
Sometimes I feel paranoid about it but mostly I just think it's really intrusive to point my camera at people who haven't agreed to it, especially in poorer countries actually.

Good point, I feel that as well, and I'm really shy and hate drawing attention to myself :o
 
Damn, so many photos I could enter here, gonna be hard to restrict myself to three, but here goes:

1: French artists in Sheffield (and here's the Flickr page)

2: Destricted (plus Flickr page)

3: Anonymous Wehrmacht (plus Flickr page)

Would it be very cheeky of me to mention a few also-rans?

Apologies for the extreme self-indulgence... put it down to the fact that I've not entered anything here for a few months :)
