[NetBehaviour] photos with people for contrast to london street

[michael szpakowski]

I think there's also something clinical about shutter speed in that it cuts through the way we perform ourselves to take a give us a very candid slice of frozen appearance...

Hi James;

People in public "act out."
This acting out reveals a part of themselves, ourselves, not displayed 
in the (shrinking) zone of privacy.
For example, the banker is aware that he or she has a role to play, and 
thus self-consciously looks and walks like "a banker."
I see some of this self-consciousness role playing in some Michael's 
photographs.

Perhaps I wasn't clear on what I meant, so I hope this helps.
