project 365 - G12... 26-01-11

fishmonger
i've been meaning to shoot this man for a while now. he sits alone on peel street here in hong kong everyday selling dried fish. there are dozens of dried seafood shops around selling the same type of fish he's selling so i'm not quite sure what's so special about his. i also know he's camera shy; i've seen him shoo away a few people when they've had their lenses pointed in his direction. this gives me an advantage when using the G12, it's much less conspicuous than an slr with a big lens attached. however, i still faced about 90 degrees to the left of where i was shooting and put the camera at hip level. i framed, focused and shot within a few seconds and then went on my way. maybe one day i'll ask if i can take a proper portrait, he has such an interesting face!
