Candid images (usually street photography) show people in their own little world, daydreaming, reading, or just pausing for thought. One of my favourite things to do is have a short period of time, it can be 10 minutes or longer, where I have freshly made tea, relaxing music, a tidy space and a moment of peace. My friends have taken to calling this a Michelle moment, and it made me think of how society makes isolation sound bad, but sometimes it's exactly what you need, a moment with your own thoughts and a bit of peace. Here is a selection of photos that I have taken that, to me at least, appear to be people having a quiet moment of their own, watching the crowd, having a coffee, quietly browsing. How we enjoy our peace is a personal experience, but we can all share in that idea of a moment of peace.
