All the photographs this week have been added to the gallery “dead in the mincers”. Please click here to view
Dead in the mincers is a cockney rhyming slang expression which means to look at someone straight in the eyes (mince pies – eyes – mincers).
There is a moment when you can take a photograph of someone when for a split second they become aware of you but they have not yet become aware of themselves. In these moments you can get a true and honest reflection of the person they are, before they put their guard up. This for me, is the holy grail of photography and always worth putting yourself in the firing line for…although I have yet to be actually shot for my intrusive behaviour I have been given looks to kill. If ever this blog stops, you know what’s happened…
