streets of your town
She wants my job !!!!
Every time she goes out she sneaks out the camera and indulges in a spot of street photography and she is very good at it. I did photograph the ladies working in the burger van outside the plastics factory, but Amy did everything else. One of my favourites as a simple, but effective image of a man's shadow on the pebbled floor. Great work Amy. See more at the Streets of your town web site. x.
I have not done much this February with Street photography, but Amy has done stuff a plenty and its not bad. What is more she enjoys going out and meeting people to take their pictures and looking at the world through a photographers eye. is doing well and I am encouraging Amy to do more everytime she goes shopping. Viewing things around her Enjoy Amy's work here and on the Streets of your town site.
On the same day as my father took us out into the countryside for some scenic shots, we stopped then at the rear of some shops in the town. My Dad had previously pointed them out as an eye sore, but I thought of them more as an opportunity for photos as you do not often get to go near enough dilapidated buildings. This site was not fenced off, rather open to the public. We did not venture too far in as it is better safe than sorry when it caves in on you. I do think we got some half way decent shots both Amy and I. My favourites are of the graffiti wall with wisps of cloud above it in the blue sky. I hope you like them.
On our journey home we travelled up the A14 to join the M1 motorway in what was bloody awful weather to drive in. It was a heavily overcast day, dank and horrible, but great to do some moody shots in/ Like the derelict house, these have been put on the Streets of your town website. The aim was to emulate the American photographer Saul Leiter style of image. Lots of dark moody looks with plenty of rain and car rear tail lights he did so well/ I am not saying my work compares anywhere near to his, but it was a fun try and I would like to do it again some day.
