Spring Has Not Yet Sprung, London

Day 9 of 365. I'm always amazed at how early shops start to dress their windows for Spring, this being a prime example. It felt much colder in London today so it felt strange looking at this window display and trying to think of the season to come!
I started doing street photography about three years ago when I joined a group on Flickr called the Street Photography Now Community. I find it the most difficult form of photography (along with portraits) as the "decisive moment" can disappear so quickly, often before you can even get your camera to your eye but when you do capture an image you're proud of you feel fantastic. Also, not knowing what you might come across is both exciting, fascinating but also unpredictable, frustrating and annoying when you just can't seem to take even one good shot.
I really like this quote by Marc Riboud - "Taking pictures is savouring life intensely, every hundredth of a second".
