It was originally some British WW2 propaganda, and was re-discovered a few years back!

I understand it's ubiquitousness is quite recent in the rest of the world, but it's been everywhere in the UK for ages!

I'm new to street photography so any C&C would be greatly appreciated. I took these over a couple of days at the South Bank Parklands in Brisbane, Australia.

The reason I never did much street shooting was because I didn't feel comfortable photographing complete strangers. That changed when I recently got the Olympus OM-D with the 45mm f/1.8. The combination of longish focal length, lightning fast AF, and touch screen shooting means people can't tell when I'm shooting them. They're oblivious even with the camera pointing right at them from a metre away.
