This is something I don’t often do – take photos of strangers. I’m always afraid someone’s going to say “Hey! You with the camera! What in tarnation are you doing?” But then, when’s the last time you heard someone say “tarnation” I don’t even know if I spelled it right! So without any more hesitation or trepidation, I went out to gather a few photos for Cee’s challenge. (and added a few of my family)
CANDID…
Click, as always, to get to Cee’s. Yup. Right there. On that little yellow critters face.
THANKS FOR THE VISIT. 🙂
Dear Bliary 
Hehe they all look pretty unaware..
Must say No 1 could have attacked you with the weed-eater 🙂
Haha! He was actually quite nice when I saw him later on. He asked how my day was going. Nice to run across someone pleasant. 😀
Thanks for the loyal visits.
Tarnation! (Can’t say that with an Australian accent…). I loved the child at the police car! And the two with the African-American woman (is that the right description?). She’s got character, especially the way she looks at the other people. I can almost hear her talking. And I loved the shot of the boy on the rock wall.
Wow. Thanks, Trish. 😀
I say tarnation all the time. (isn’t it a Scoobydo-ism?) But I hate taking people photos! (except for sleeping infants 🙂 )
I thought it was a southern US phrase. But in any case, sleeping children, yes. Adorable. 🙂
[ Smiles ] You have mastered that challenge once again!
You are too kind, but thanks! 🙂
[ Smiles ] You are welcome, Gemma!
Love that last one. 🙂 You did good, Gemma.
Thanks, ad. 🙂
The shot with the police cruiser. It looks like the officer is putting the child in a headlock! Is that family?
When your taking a shot of a police car you kind of have to be – ah – sneaky. I think it must have been grand dad. If I could have lingered a little longer for more shots, you would have seen other small children hugging Officer Krumpy. 😉
I wasn’t sticking around for the family reunion. Did what I could. 😀
Great captures.Love the last one !
Thanks! The car does that to him A LOT! 😀
I thought the police car picture looked a little pervy, so I’m hoping it’s family!! I love the cart full of mums. If only my impatiens would DIE ALREADY, I’d get a few mums myself… I also love the picture of your “boy” sleeping in the car. That is some serious sleeping. The real deal! Awesome candid collection.
I know the cop pic looks a little weird but I think grand dad was a big man and the boy just wasn’t tall enough for a decent hug. Pretty candid in the long run, I guess. 😆
Thanks for “liking” me (she quoted Sally Field)
I don’t just like you. I really, really like you. (also Sally Field) 🙂
🙂
Great shots, love the boy on the rock 🙂
When he goes to the park, he’s on everything! Trees, bridges, rocks, dirt, monkey bars… A real bruiser. 😉
What great smiles you gave me this morning!!! I so enjoyed looking at your shots!! Thanks for sharing!
Smile? YAY!
Thanks!

It is so nice to browse … you know it very well
Molte grazie!
I’m always “scared” to photograph strangers as well. Although it is something i REALLY want to do.
You got some great candid shots.
I’m going to practice, even if someone slaps me in the process! Let’s go for it, girl. 🙂
It’s a tricky one isn’t it Gemma .. I should hate to be snapped willy nilly but there again I’ve been guilty of a little indiscriminate snapping myself …
But these are super set of ‘candid’ photos .. daydream believer all panned out caught my eye and fearless oh and the last jaw dropping nap … 😉
He’s hysterical and adorable. I have a great job. 😉 Good seeing you, poppy. 😉
Candid shots are more exciting. Makes us smile too and appreciate simple things in life.
😉
I’m not much use at candids – but I’m thinking I asking strangers if I can take their photos – can I rely on you to guarantee my bail???
The dozing little boy is wonderful – one of your charges? And I like the lady in West African dress. A
Yes. One of my charges. Such a photogenic tyke. Always ready to pose – as long as I show him, immediately!!
I would always bail you out, A. But aren’t all those people in car shots candid?
