My turn . same rules , folks .



Feel free to post any topic you enjoy that was photographed between June 22nd and July 6th.

Rules as before:
1) No theme just your favorite stuff.
2) Let's keep it to about 4-6 images per post just so the thread doesn't get too big each week .
3) Any Pentax camera is fine, film, P&S, DSLR (or Samsung DSLR)
4) Runs for 7 days <Sunday Date> to <Sunday Date>
5) Enter anything you shot last week or this current week until the thread closes.

rparmar - interesting shot indeed - some real street photography - makes me wonder indeed what the story is with those shoes
Thanks for that acknowledgment. I find street photography to be absolutely the hardest to do. First because I do not want to violate anyone's space, even in a public place. And second because to find an image that tells a story is like a needle in a very busy haystack. Also, I prefer to keep the colour rather than make monochrome for instant street credibility.

Great photos here from so many contributors! Amazing musicians from Zewrak and great children from dws1117.

Ben and Betsy

The actors who portray Ben Franklin and Betsy Ross in the Philadelphia historical district actually got married on July 3rd. They held the ceremony in front of Independence Hall officiated by the mayor of Philladelphia. I only had my M50 1.7, so I couldn't get too close. The ceremony was followed by a concert with the Philly Pops orchestra. A great time was had by all.
