I saw straight away that he was looking at a wallet. Even common thieves wear suits and bankers of course  . Wearing suits by criminals is a very old ploy, as people often perceive people wearing suits to be honourable  . Yeah a pickpocket probably won't be wearing a mask. Nonetheless a buyer might buy an image like this if he is looking for a picture or a concept of a pickpocket. It's an excellent image. To be rejected for the word pickpocket, for an image like this is being a bit pedantic to say the least.

Cool, I didn't know that.

I could never do the business people sitting around a table photo. I'm not that good at staged shots. Although I'm well aware that they sell better than my travel shots. I have tried taking photos of models a few times, I think I was lucky to get good models who knew what they were doing, as I certainly didn't. I'm just sticking to what I know best, capturing people as they are, in their natural environments. I love that.

I made my Flickr account private a couple of weeks ago, for fear of image theft. Heard a lot of stories. I generally have better images there than I do with my microstock images. In a dilemma about it. Don't know whether to make the images public, I hear that even if I uploaded the images at 500 pixels, there are still programs which can make decent prints from this. Anyone, got any information on this? Thanks. Sorry to steal your post melastmohican, well done by the way.

Been going around and around MSG, wondering why I can't start a thread. Just read the above, so hopefully now that I've posted this, I can start a thread and I can stop hitting my laptop.
