This exemplifies one of the reasons I am not personally happy photographing on the street. To me, she looks like she has been assaulted and is, as you say, trying to hold on to her dignity. She certainly doesn't (within the constraints of a monitor image) look calm, confident and composed. To me there is a hint of "I don't want you to do that but I don't want any more aggravation today". Now we can wander off into a big debate on the ethics of picturing people in distressing situations.... mike p.s apologies for any typos but this is webmail and, if you don't work quickly, the account access times out. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
