A photographer like Peter Parker

I started the day off the bus and took this photo:

Like Pter Parker

It happened that a guy came up behind me and said to me: You are a photographer like Peter Parker for seeing how quick I was in shooting. I smiled at him. Sometimes I get these comments on the street but this was more imaginative. There is a new Spider-Man in the cinema, maybe he had seen him the day before. In any case, it foments.

It is cold on the morning and I am dressed with a urban jacket (hooded) and and I have my fedora hat. A few steps after shot without asking:

Bulldog and Lady

Even if it looks like a posed portrait, I assure you I didn't ask before shooting. But afterwards the lady told me, wait I'll leave it to you:

Bulldog

The second shot I do it out of kindness but with the knowledge that the first shot is the real one, what I wanted.

My experience of street photography is given by the dimension of not hiding my presence. I am interested in spontaneous photography, without intervention, but I don’t hide what I do and that I have a camera. This leads to interacting experiences at times.
