As part of my photography class, I have to go out into the city and take pictures of random people or things. I'm finding that people react very differently when they find themselves the subject of a random photographer. I'm wondering if a person's reaction is indicative of their personality? You find some people will cautiously look at you to confirm that you are, in fact, photographing them. Others turn directly to the camera and smile. And then there are the ones who get visibly upset, throw you a dirty look, and move so you can no longer photograph them.
Earlier this week, I went out to the bus exchange to get some motion shots and while I was there, I caught this guy on his way home from work. The shot won't work for my photography class but I love the way he smiled at me and gave off a very friendly vibe.

Happy to be going home |
I've also started my own Flickr stream to capture all the photos that I like the best. I'm finding Flickr is a great resource for creative ideas (stealing ideas would be more apt). :)
