Wandering the streets of the old town in Barcelona when I looked down a side street and caught this image. Didn't want to stop as I thought he may notice and react. At first the image (to me) conjures ideas of loneliness and loss, A person alone in a city that is teeming with life. However he had actually stopped to eat his lunch, not sure if he was a tourist or a local. I liked the image. Technically I had little to do with this picture, the camera and lens did all the work. I was walking down one of the very busy tourist haunts of the old town, saw this guy, lifted the camera to my eye and snapped without stopping walking. Especially for street photography I think you have to have a lot of faith in the cameras systems and worry about composition. At leat in this case it seemed to work.
