San Francisco is my favorite American city. Street life is diverse, entertaining, and poignant. You can play and relax, as well as, grow and expand. And you can see just about anything; including a carriage full of pug dogs, a man with a smile bright enough to light an entire stadium, and a baby bundled in a colorful scarf. For me it is a photographer's delight. I hope it also delights you.
Smiling Man
A homeless man in San Francisco graciously allowed me to shoot his photo after explaining to me that he had no teeth and couldn't smile. I disagree.
Pugnacious
I was watching the street life from a curb side cafe when this carriage full of pug dogs came into my view. I was so surprised I almost missed the shot!
Street Musician
A man in Chinatown plays music on his traditional bowed instrument.
Baby Bundle
I was watching a group of women push a cart of food down an alley in Chinatown. Once they were past me I was surprised to see the baby bundled in a colorful scarf that I hadn't noticed before.

Love "Street Photography"! Nice shots, Julie...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love Frisco.. My uncle moved there many years ago and lived on Belvedere Island... He said S.F. was a city...A lot of art, diversity for sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve! That means a lot coming from you. Your street photography is excellent.

ReplyDeleteI miss being able to travel.
aw those Pugs are soo cute! Great photos Julie, I can't wait until I'm off travelling again to get some new stuff. Utah next year tho! :)
ReplyDeletenice images Julue - I met a sculptor Lawrence Noble who's from San Fran yesterday - he said it was a really great place.
ReplyDeleteJulie, you really have a talent for street photography! Wonderful images.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you could see the man's face as a work of art. He has a good haircut, a shaved face, and a winning smile (even without teeth), yet the eyes still portray his plight.
ReplyDeleteAll pics from very good shots.
Do people every shy away from your pointing camera? Have you ever been "barked" at - by a human? :)
Thanks Anita! I usually ask permission before I shoot. But there are a few that I've wanted to be candid from time to time. Never been barked at but certainly have gotten crusty looks. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteDuta, so glad you liked the puppies. Aren't they adorable!
ReplyDeleteCathy and Ali, hope you both get to do some traveling soon!
David, you should definitely get to SF. My favorite city.
Karen, thanks so much. I find street photography challenging but very fun.
