Invisible me...
Street Photography is difficult at the best of times as you want to appear invisible to the people you are photographing, so that you don't upset them or cause offence. Once people are aware of your presence they stiffen up or pose, and the moment is usually lost.
What I like about this photograph is that the guy in the middle of the frame is walking right beside me but you don't know from the photograph. We are both on the opposite side of the street, but the distortion caused by the double reflections - there was another office block almost identical behind me - made me invisible and cut me out of the photograph entirely. Magical!
