The Best of Girl Watchers - Week #20
67Winner Week #20 Jan 22 - Jan 27 2007
Each week I will select the best image(s) that I have posted at Flickr.com and posted to the Flickr group called "A Girl Watchers Club". On a normal week I will post at least 50 new images.The best of the week is determined by the number of views a photo gets from people who view my photostream or my Girl Watcher Club group.
- There are links at the bottom of this article to both my photostream and my Girl Watchers Group. For those that don't yet know it yet, Flickr.com is the best and largest photo sharing web site on the Internet.
Winner Week #20
This week we have the most viewed and runner up plus a personal favorite. Again, another successful week with many postings getting over 100 views.
The winner this week (Eye Opener) was a Asian girl with an obvious smoking body. Some very good photographic elements in this image as well. She was dressed very smartly in pink and white, with her car keys in her hand to a very nice S Class Mercedes. She has her bag of bagels from the Bagel Broker gripped tightly on her other hand. In the background you have the CBS Eye poking out from the trees, trying to get a closer look too. This was taken from a mini mall Thai restaurant front window seat. Even when Girl Watcher is eating lunch, he keeps an eye (and camera) out for any pretty girls that pass by.
The runner up this week is a new crop of an old shot from last year. I've been trying to expand my couples photo set and went back over some of my older posts that had been cropped for girls only. Funny how a different crop can increase the views on a post. I never would have thought the one with the boyfriend would out view the girl only shot.
My personal favorite (Got My Attention Too) was caught while I was stopped in traffic. I always keep my camera ready in sleep mode even when I drive to work each morning. I normally don't get very many good shots like this one though. This girl seemed to have had a rough night and her feet were really hurting. I was not the only person who was taking notice of her as the guy in the background was also enjoying the show she was putting on. A few seconds after this was taken she looked up at me and noticed I had taken her photo. She gave a little frown and went back to rubbing her sore feet. For a shot through my window this came out very sharp and clear. Catching bystanders girl watching is always a bonus shot in my book.

It seemed from her reaction that she didn't care one way or another. I think her main concern was her aching feet. Taking candid shots of strangers from the front is always tricky. Permission is not required for public shots, but if a subject notices and objects, I will delete the image if asked to. The camera I use is a compact and I am rarely noticed when taking shots. There is a certain amount of risk involved and if you feel uncomfortable taking the shot, don't. Taking risk is part of the challenge for doing this kind of photography. I know of street photographers who have been physically assaulted and I have been threatened a few times.

scary but kind of sexy...
Thanks for your comment. My images are not meant to be scary, just show how beautiful women can be when they are not posing for the camera. I have to admit though, there are a lot of sexy women in LA

Did she object to your taking her picture? She doesn't appear to be smiling. I am hesitant to take pictures of strangers from the front unless I'm using a long lens and am far enough away that they don't notice. Do you sometimes ask permission before taking a picture.
