[Leica] IMG: From the Hip

[Douglas Barry]

Tonight was the camera club night and the competition was Street from the 
Hip. This proved difficult as you can't see what you take, and, due to 
pressure of time, I could only do it for about 15 mins this morning. This 
was my entry which I took outside the Dail (Irish Parliament) entrance 
before I went into the adjoining National Library to research the time my 
grandfather's car was machinegunned in 1933. I spotted this well known Irish 
lensman and it turned out ok when I looked later.

Most of the previous shots were terrible, too much sky, headless subjects, 
etc., and it turned out everyone in the club had the same problem. So I won 
with this not great shot!

This is a little bit about Tom Burke
