 Shoot from the hip and expect nothing. Serendipity will follow.

(using the viewfinder is over-rated anyway :)

the guy in the shot actually introduced me to SFTH, so it seemed appropriate.

drop saturation, nudge contrast, resize, border

Is there a point to this? You can't tell if the man is happy or arguing.

I think this is a very interesting shot. I wish some part of the person was in focus though (the brow, probably). I like the candid nature of it and the quality of the exposure on the black and white. I'm not sure how it fits into the challenge but it is compelling none-the-less.

I think the photgrapher journalist should be in focus, not the background. Good motion and a nice capture of emotion though.

Like the angle. Wish the subject, not the background, was in focus. Definetely a good choice with the b&w!

Great composition I like the slight motion blur to the image. Good photojournalistic type image.
