Three Street Togs out one morning are discussing various approaches to SP, the first follows a traditional documentary approach, the second argues for a more abstract artistic approach, while the third declares that he is "Hardcore" and is only interested in "Truth" without intervention !

As the group walk down the road they see a elderly balloon seller on the street corner, blowing up balloons and creating animal shapes. The group immediately decide that he is a subject worthy of photography and "monster" the scenario, after only a few seconds the man collapses to the ground showing symptoms of a heart attack.!

The Documentary photographer drops to his knees and starts CPR as the Art tog rings for help and gives mouth to mouth. Within 4 minutes the ambulance. arrives and the paramedic asks the Documentary photographer for a explanation of the incident before asking "what did you give him" ?

The Documentary tog replies I gave him CPR as I am trained in first aid, he then asks the abstract art shooter "What did you give him" ? He replies I gave him mouth to mouth, the medic thanks them both for their efforts before asking "Hardcore" "What did you give him" ?

Following a long pause ………… "Hardcore" replies sheepishly ....... 1 / 125 at F 11 !!!!!!!!!!!

Readers will be pleased to know that this is a fictitious story, I hope it inspires folk to think about their personal and photographic interactions on the streets.

Enjoy your Sunday & keep it real !

The Balloon seller went on to enjoy a long and happy life !
