    As an Irish based photographer I can relate so much more to UK based photographers than US, so as much as I love Paulie B's Walkie Talkies, and I do, I do not relate to them and it's like another planet. This video shot just across the water from me with an incredibly talented and enthusiastic photographer has been a breath of fresh air, you asked the right questions but gave Cal plenty of scope to talk and share his methods. I also really connected with Cal as I am also absolutely hyper when out and walk fast, I've ADHD without an official diagnosis and it wouldn't surprise me if Cal was the same, constantly scanning and looking for the next great picture, which he gets many of.
    Great video Tim, please keep these going as they are a breath of fresh air!

      Ah thank you for such a lovely comment, Dave! I’m mindful that I don’t just want to rip Paulie B off, so I’m trying to do it in my own way and to showcase the depth of great street photographers in the UK, at least that’s the plan anyway!

    It’s an about people. It’s about us. Cal taps into what I love about street photography and it’s something that I think has been lost with a lot of what tries to make a claim to the genre. I feel that Cal would rather cut off his own hand than negate people with silhouettes, long lenses or other silliness. Humanity (and horses) doing what we do.

    Great one Tim - I have been following him (and you!) for a while.

He has been doing street photography the same length of time as me - if only I could walk that fast!

    These little dogs near the driveway with (huge) cars - I think he could have gotten a really good (or at least better) photo if he had taken the shot near the ground looking up at the dogs and cars/houses in the background. I'm no expert but something I noticed - I myself am always trying to look for an unusual angle.
    All in all a great and interesting video! :)
