I can remember as a teenager whe had a firm called Candid Camera who used to do these street shots in Adelaide.

Backing into a pole must have been common. And that last guy, he's a viola player for sure. They're pretty mean when they get wounded. <br /><br />And FYI your link on SepSat is a loop back to SS.
