Keeping an open eye (and mind) and looking around is always a good practice in street photography. And sometimes looking up will produce unexpected subjects.
this shot gives me the opportunity to tell you how much i adore your work. i'm coming back every now and then, and i never leave without being amazed by your art. your shots - and the whole non-p approach - are a big inspiration to me, even if it doesn't show in my shots. all the best!
You are so true. Keep looking up. We are made to look toward the ground (keep us from falling...). But if you look up, there is so many options... first, the sky, and... and...
Great shot. I love you photos.
I love the glow, the composition, the looks on their faces. What brings out the voyeur in me is wondering what this group of women is doing together. There is quite a variety of character types here, it seems. Interesting shot.
In this pic the B&W film is what really makes it work - the expressions on the faces of the girls are each one unique, and it just wouldn't have been the same in color. Good choice! Kinda makes me think of those beach party movies, and they're checking out a hunky guy =) Kari
I like this because I like to see people's faces. I don't know why, but it always seems to me like people have to be in street photos. It gives them a sort of immediacy that non-people photos tend to lack. Good shot!
Interesting humanity, up there. Some photos pretend to tell it all. Others leave open the mystery and let you stare at them over and over, making up stories and inventing what could have been. This is one of them, for the variety of characters whose lives have converged for one single instant on the line leading to your lenses.
What a wonderful eye you have. I'm doing my Masters on Street Photography in Perth Western Australia - using the American, Robert Adams and his '70s work as my inspiration. Not the easiest of photographic genres but I love a challenge. You have caught the subjects at the right time and the B&W image provides the mood and ambience. It doesn't matter what they were looking at, it is what you have captured.
This is great. Love the soft focus.
Do you know what has grabbed their attention?

Yes, it was a street performer.

This is the most interesting photograph it is thought provoking.

I know I need to look up more often than I do. Another thing I try to do is look behind me. I've found some pretty good shots that way too.
This is a very good image. Your soft focus treatment is perfect. It gives the photo a unique feel & really grabs my attention.
