My online journal sharing interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
I can’t let Paul have all the fun with black and white street shots. So here is one from New York City a few weeks ago. Of course this one was not taken with an M6. 🙁 I don’t remember where I found her but she had her own little place on the street.
…will pop in to our lives and bring their smiles. I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with one of my pilots, his wife, Cindy and their son Olivier. They are good people and not because they invited me over for a BBQ the other evening. They are just good people inside. I enjoyed seeing their new home and hearing about all the things they have done to the house and what some of their plans are for the future. This is their son, Olivier, who wanted to make sure we watched as he rolled down the slope in the backyard. Can you tell he likes the new house also? Yep, good people!
Finding quiet in the busy world around may seem like a monumental task but for some it can be done. I like how this image shows the man sitting in a meditative state while the young woman sits in a quiet posture.
I noticed this man as he sat in a coffee shop and watched as he wandered in his thoughts. I reluctantly interrupted to ask permission to take his photo. After asking me why I told him I had a project going where I try to take at least one photo a day. My answer was sufficient as he agreed to let me take his image, wanting to know what to do. I suggested he just relax and be himself. I think he did that very well and think I captured him in his thoughts. Not sure where he was in those thoughts but that is not the essence of the image. He let the camera create the image. Now is this a candid portrait?
Waiting at the airport.
