Greek Orthodox "Gofer"

Ah, yes - -street shots. I'm blogging on this one because It's a perfect example of me following my "street shot rule" and ending up with a good result. The rule? As soon as you hit the street, the camera is in your hand and on, and set at the fastest shutter speed in continuous shooting mode. I've broken this rule to my great regret too many times. Let's see, there was the boxer and his trainer running past in the park, the cherry-haired girl with the rockabilly tattoos, etc., etc. So here on this shot I was walking down the street, when who turns the corner but this priest. Then it was like: that's unusual - - better shoot it - - I'm ready to shoot it - - quick compose - - got it, he's past me. The rule works!
