I have always enjoyed this exhibition, it is neither too showy nor does it try to be too clever. The above images are a fairly staple diet for the entrants, I have had to print screen to get hence the smallness, if you click on the image I am sure you will see it large enough to see the artist's name too.

these two images however are a more recent departure. I suspect they were always there, just not short listed.
I really am starting to love this genre of photography,and even more pleased that this whole genre is still alive and kicking. I thought it was not allowed that you could take random images of the public, but a student has tracked down a copy of the privacy law and it seems you are, as long as you take the photograph in a public place.
So long live the candid shot.

If I lived in/near London, I'd be at the NPG at least monthly, if not weekly. Since I don't, thanks for a quick peek . . .I love the variety of responses to the concept of portraiture, such a flexible, fascinating genre!
