Ah, black and white photographs.
There are times when I walk about and say to myself "that composition is begging to be captured..." even if it means weaving my way through café tables to get a shot of the ceiling.
Mildly curious customers glance in the direction of my focused camera as I mull over the choice of portrait or landscape.
But in the end it is the latte steaming on the table that captures their frame of mind as I vanish from the scene.
