My First "Death Stare"

[varjag]

I do get a look sometimes. But not very often 🙂

Yeah, if you're out shooting the public, you're gonna get the occasional stare. But there are stares, and then there are stares...

Had a couple recently 🙂

For some reason I get quite a lot of stares, and to tell the truth, I also like them..

This is from an Ungdomshuset support demo three weeks ago:

A May Day demo:

Ok, no death here, just a stare on the veterans day:

Lotari, top one is great, what is is shot with? I guess Finnish weather lends itself to wide apertures in "daylight" 🙂

Ah, checked Flickr, medium format explains a lot... 🙂

Is it just me or are a lot of these death stares making these pictures more compelling? 🙂

I was doing some street shooting around a busy downtown coffee shop. There was so much going on that I wanted to get a shot of the "buzz". I did not notice a homeless guy in a wheelchair, but he noticed me. He apparently does not like his picture taken as he came charging at me yelling and cursing and creating quite a scene. This experience has taught me to do a more detailed survey of a shot before I raise my camera.

ps...Oh yeah, and to plot a clear exit if necessary.

Just curious Lotari, how does veterans day work in Finland: against the Nazis or the Russians or both?

No doubt in my mind that the death stares help the image. Certainly that's the case with mine.

I get them all the time. I seek them out sometimes.
