On the streets of Chicago a few weeks ago. I've never tried to capture a stranger before. It was fun! These were taken from my van as my husband was trying to find a place to park.

I think the sign in the 2nd picture is kind of funny, considering the blown whites

I agree, and it is a great shot and a very good b/w conversion! Well done!

Javier, I like that new shade-picture!

Yeah, the shadow looks like it belongs on a truck mud flap

Thanks for the comments on the image folks. I am not sure it something I will pursue. We will see.

I went out for a walk down historic broadway today and shot a few images...Ok, well allot of images of which I have not had a chance to look at yet. These where some of the very first I took...
She did not want her picture taken.

This guy got all bent when I stuck my camera in there..He was playing that three shell thing for money..Gambling..forget what it is called....

And this lady, I thought looked cool...I was using my 17mm tokina, so they are actually allot closer than they look.

jgredline · 07-18-2009, 10:37 PM

Ok, as I was walking, I saw this lady hiding behind the umbrella and thought the shot was cool...Again 17mm Tokina F/2.8...

So as I am walking, I am jingling my keys hanging from my pocket..I do this when I want to grab someones attention and when they turn, I accidentally fire the camera and get a nice capture....

So as I am passing by, I was going to shoot the shadow on the floor, but decided to shoot her against the sun...

When she asked why I took her picture, I told her because she looked pretty and she blushed and I was on my way. I took many like this, but have not looked futher. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will get caught up. I have about 30 gigs of pictures to go through....

Oh, I am also experimenting with some PP stuff...Trying to give it more of an artsy look. I am not sure I am liking it or not, but I am trying...

This image is really cool. I love the young faces behind the musicians.

Now that I have had a small taste of street photography, I want to get out there and do more....except I live in a somewhat rural area. We were just visiting Chicago when I took those pics. Wish I lived in a big city

There is a college town about 30 minutes down the road, though (U of Arkansas...go Razorbacks!) Maybe I should walk around campus and see if I can get some good shots of people one of these days.
