Five years.
I was looking at the "first" photograph I took the day I decided I wanted to get back into photography and decided that the best bet was Street photography. As with all good ideas I was in the pub and so came back with my camera and took this.
Five years I'd like to think my photography has improved. I now take things like this. Is it a better photo? I'd like to think so. I'm better at talking to be and getting closer. I'm not so tied to the idea of black and white in street photography.
