project 9: a comfortable situation

I had decided to ease myself into the area of taking pictures of people without their permission. I went to a local town square as they often have a market but on the day I arrived there was no market so I sat having a coffee wondering what to take pictures of when a group of ladies arrived to belly dance for charity. Having decided that they were the braver ones, it didn't seem too onerous a task to take their pictures while they danced. I think this was an easy way of starting to take this type of photograph - the ladies were aware of my presence but involved in their own performance so not concerned with me.
