This scene reminds me of a certain andy williams song yes ? It was a hunch.Spur of the moment thingy.My brother and me went to the city of Antwerp, Belgium, to buy a decent tripod (for my camera) so my images would be less heh "shaky" (especially when viewed Big ! ) to a certain, well known photography store - Grobet - and when we were on our way back to the trainstation I noticed someone sitting on the sidewalk - we were about 30 metres away - in what appeared to be beautiful light coming through the street.So I persuaded my brother to go that route.When we came closer I noticed that the person sitting there was infact a girl and she was smoking a cigarette.While we passed, I just aimed and shot and walked on.My brother doesn't like me taking photographs when I'm with him, like say we're going somewhere or go shopping or out on the town, he always urges me not to take my camera.I wonder why?
