I see you've managed to sneak in a St. Patty's Day reference...
I do try being a fellow Celt , couldn't get a St. David's day reference in on the first of March being a Welshman, kept wanting a daffodil or a leak to turn up, guess I'll have to post them myself next year.:lol:

I wish the table wasn't there but it looks like its bolted down.
Do you find these compositions and wait for the right moment or do you just shoot them when you find them?

Mostly fleeting moments where I attempt to compose on the fly. I don't use the method of finding a scene and waiting for the right subject though I have considered it and found that I just don't have the patience. Cartier-Bresson and Doisneau (among others) often used the method you suggest - I believe Cartier-Bresson had spotters that would find likely locations and inform him - while Doisneau was known to pose many of his street-style shots.
This is really interesting, but I think the table pulls away from the concept, its just not needed. This guy reminds me of the grumpy old man that lives on the corner and sits on the porch everyday for hours on end.
The out of character metal table is a nuisance in this shot but everything else is lovely. The mans possible "trespassing" and the curvature of those great columns and seat behind provide a little feast for the eye.
There is a nice softness to the picture that suits all the stone work perfectly.
I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
