Eye Contact

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 25 July 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

I was walking along the pavement in the historic city of Chester when this strangely dressed Lady looked at me through the window straight in the eyes. I sometimes get a cold look when I try some street photography but a smile usually does the trick - not in this case I'm afraid as she looks seriously 'not amused'!

My daughter said afterwards that she thought it looked like a ghost!

PS - for those among you who are into buildings, this is an original timber frame building and is at least 300 years old. If you look at the panes of glass in the window you will see from the uneven reflections that the glass is handmade rather than modern machine made 'float' glass.

Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.
