Who's watching who?

Street photography may not seem the particular genre to use 'fieldcraft', but by adopting a certain amount of common sense in your picture taking, you can 'set up' some good images. Just like wild animals will always make for the watering hole, there will always be places on the street where you know people will congregate or pass. If you can use street furniture to make natural frames so much the better.
As in this shot, these structures are positioned at one of the ends of the street in my home town. Sited at the kerb on either pavement you know that at some point, someone will walk past them. It is just a matter of waiting for the right subject to pass.
This morning I had already taken a few shots, when this photographer appeared with his Nikon, on the other side of the street. Like some Mexican standoff, we both raised our cameras and snapped away.
