Hi Peter Sometimes the comments are overrated including mine says the play on words of Juan ;-) As I told you before I like Juans work overall a lot.
Beside skills you need courage and luck and the ability to foresee interesting situations and a talent to make contact with people IMHO. A lot of photographers would be to shy to go that near with a wide lens but if you do that in a city I'm pretty sure you will see a lot worth seeing/taking :-) ------ I met some professional chess players yesterday at the "Lindenhof" in the oldest city part of Zurich and one of them invited me to come to the chess contest in the Canton of Berne to take portraits of the players. If I find some spare time, I will when they play near Zurich :-) Chess players on the Lindenhof: http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/solicom/chessplayers.jpg greetings Markus ---Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Peter Lacus Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 10:17 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: PESO: I'm invisible...

Somehow the critics on some of Juans photos look as bit overrated > to me if I have the right to say so. This is just my honest opinion. just some notes: - street photography requires different skills than for example landscape photography. One moment the composition may be winning, shortly after boring. Honestly I haven't even noticed the car until you've pointed it out. - if I wrote masterpiece that might be overrated, however I wrote "little masterpiece" ;-) - I'd be very happy if I managed to capture such a photo so from my standpoint it's not overrated at all...
