Camera Shy

The following photographs were taken in Dublin without the knowledge of the subject.  Most were taken secretly, my camera at my waste and my thumb pressing the trigger every chance I got.  A couple were taken more deliberately. You almost wonder in the faces of some of the people if they know they are being photographed; their eyes seem to be directly facing the lens.  This is all about capturing a moment in life when people least expect it.  I remember seeing a photography exhibition of a photographer who hid a camera in his jacket and took pictures of people on the bus, this is what I thought of while doing this experiment. I tried to get as close to the action as possible to really answer the question: What do you do when know one is looking?
