As previously announced ;-) here is my first street shots! I have been talking about street shooting here at PDML before. I have been attracted to the idea, but something has been holding me back. There is something about sticking a lens into somebody's face. I can't help thinking about it as something slightly similar to a forced entry. I know this is stupid, most street shooting is a mutual thing. You interact with the object. But never the less, the object is an object. Pardon my sexual references here, it is the best way I am able to explain myself. Anyway:Now at last Saturday, I managed to get out there and do it!
Here it, a slightly edited version of this day, 15 shots. Most of them snaps, some candid, and some street shots with social contact, and some with the photographer interacting with them, while shooting them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fototim/ At first I was very shy, lurking around, picturing people's backs. After a while I was feeling more comfortable. One of the pictures I do like; "the cuddling couple". The girl/woman first rejected, and then she said ok. You can picture my dog, and then lifted it up. They are both looking into the camera, giving me a kind of curious look. Comments, ideas, reflections, feedback, and good/bad advices are highly appreciated. Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian.) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C. Clarke, or some other clever guy)
