Yeah, you found out about that when you had a completely serious talk about which Listerine is the best to drink XD

Ok. I finished my edits. Technically speaking, the pictures turned out quite the same as it did in the last year's session. However, I was glad that I was able to capture more relaxed and natural expressions from participants whom I was better able to connect with.

A nice, broad, 'unposed' smile:

Sales of the new non alcohol Listerine are going to be rather poor.

Great video of liane_joseph and dinosaurgirl doing their thing and me standing around with my hands in my pants.

Cool video!
I guess this means we don't have to ask for permission to setup equipments like this on the street? I never knew this ..

Haha, it depends when and where. If you set up in front of a storefront, they may complain, if you set up on private property or somewhere where you are impeding traffic, it might be an issue too. Luckily the spot we've been at for these events is just right in terms of what we are doing.

I was thinking of doing the next one at Kensington, but I'm not sure if we wont run into any issues there as the sidewalk space isn't as available.

Yes, I think that Kesington would be a cool location. Maybe somebody knows a spot there that's not too busy? I've only been there once, so I don't really know the area.

Also, that video is really cool For the first time in my life, I've been filmed by a creeper Still, awesome vid!

Oh, and great pictures, everyone! I really love how you guys edited them.

You mean this?

Posting on behalf of kikko who does not have flickr yet.

Wow! Great pic!

More reason to regret that I missed this...

Wow, looks like you guys had an awesome time. I've shot there, its a good spot even if some of the vendors get a bit narked thinking we are driving their customers away.

We went to Kensington market the same day, and what an experience. The parkette was pretty weird between the stone soul picnic and a homeless street preacher shouting the plot to "The Planet of the Apes". Still we got some cool shots.

This poor kid was filthy and had no diapers.

Yes!! Thanks Mike and Kikko, that was definitely the shot of the night

As I was helping Alice (you will have to ask her if I was any real help) I only took this shot using a naked off camera flash while at the Cr

Bart, thanks for organizing this! It was a good learning experience!

Thanks also to my 2 instructors, Ryan and Vilk! I always learn something from you both every time we meet. Thank you both!

Simon, thanks for let me use your equipments! I'll go through my shots and post them here soon!

Another picture I just uploaded. This time, with slightly more evidence that the picture was taken along the street.

Or at a wax museum zing.

A bit too smoothed out for my liking.

no, you don't understand, that is her skin tone. she really had a flawless complexion!

Beautiful. She probably had a bit of a shine, which makes the skin look more smooth than really is.

I refuse to be called an instructor! I'M THE MASTER!!
