A recent work trip to Milton Keynes brought me a very welcome opportunity to visit the town’s art gallery where a new exhibition of Saul Leiter’s photography had just opened. Armed with my little Fuji X100V camera I found I could take some photos without being intrusive and these two were my favourites. I wouldn’t say they are particularly ‘Saul Leiter-ish’ but his observation of every day scenes and the mundane certainly influenced me. I took several frames of the two chaps looking at the central display (above) but this one was the winner because of the way the man on the right had his arms extended just as I opened the shutter!
