Drawing your attention particularly to no. 32, 'Sir'... This was the first candid 'street' shot this photographer had taken. It's certainly a good shot, not great, though it turned out the subject was known to another flickr user, was 102 years old, a famous ragtime musician from the 1950s, and also shared the same birthday as the photographer. Spooky or what.

For really excellent street photography (the kind of stuff I will probably only ever aspire to) go to no. 14, 'family man', and explore stoneth's photostream.
