Travel Street Photography

I was really busy this past week and never got around to shooting out on the streets, so instead I will show some street photography I shot during some of my trip to India. If you have any criticisms or comments I would love to hear what you have to say!

The first four photos were taken at the Sasquatch Music Festival in George, Washington, while the fifth photo was taken at Gas Works Park in Seattle. I was hidden from the subjects when I shot each photo and some were also taken at the decisive moment.

Some shots from a recent trip to the Netherlands:


In this one, I stumbled upon the "decisive moment," a guy in a dog suit walking through a medieval town square, with my camera still in the bag. He was out of the light and way off-center by the time I got the camera out. Oops.

Another attempt at bike photography, but the jogger came out as probably the more interesting element

street photography example

This is the website of the photographer I mentioned in class. He has a lot of typical street photography, along with the ones where he goes up to them and takes a stranger's portrait.

Inspiration

Here's a one-off photo I took at my friends' daughter's first birthday party.  He's part of a tight-knit group of boys (now men) I went to high school with.  They're so enmeshed that they pretty much have created their own micro-culture.  This photo has inspired me to explore what I find so fascinating about my bros from back home -- how they recreate their high school roles whenever they get together and how they're now establishing their own identities outside of the group.
