The Face of Fort Collins 1 - Steet Photography

Street photography is one of my passions that, as yet, is unfulfilled. I stand back and admire some of my mentors' inspirational work and contemplate how they get the images that I admire. I decided it was time to stop thinking and start doing. I have dabbled a bit in street photography before, but really want to learn how to catch that magic in another person's moment. So I hope you will indulge me in this exercise and give me your thoughts. What do you think of street photography? Am I on the right track?

Street Life in San Francisco, USA

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.
