My personal assignment; trying to get as close as possible to the object (completely stranger), and this are two results:
Dove race is a sport (if we can call it sport) that some of Jakartans enjoy it.. As in any sports, we need to train the dove and pick the best for competition.. I saw this man releasing two birds.. I stop and approach him closest possible and take this shot…When I had lunch in, all tables are full and I ask permission to join this group.. interestingly this group is chefs from nearby restaurant. they chat and checking and show messages from their Blackberry. I took my camera out and shot this picture.. no permission no apology… and continue chatting with them as if I did not do anything…
Just a tip when we do shot close up to strangers… chat with them either after or before, to show that you are normal, not just a weirdo…
Lovely photos, I like the 2nd picture best where all three main subjects are focusing on the same object. The colour and light are also warm and inviting.

Thanks Ian… My goal is to be able to take images like William Klein – but still million years light way to go.. :D
