Please do Art - this is kind of fascinating. Never really thought about this point of view before.

Thanks  Iceman and  Roger!

On Sunday we were at the farmer's market for second day of the workshop. My instructor gave me some advice before heading off on my  own, he told me relax and don't be scared and just get close to the  people and  then  asked them if they mind if I take their picture.

The first lady was really nice I asked her if I may take a picture for a street photography workshop, she replied go-ahead.

Second lady walking around I noticed she had a large tattoo on her back. I asked her if she'd mind if I take a picture of her tattoo, she told me how do you want to pose or stand, I told her just like that. And I thanked her.

My favorite picture was the girl with the choker on her neck. I went up to her and I told her I really like your choker can I  take a picture of it. She replied I make these and I sell these on the Internet go-ahead.

Everybody said yes nobody didn't seem to mind. I think I only got to no from two college girls holding flowers. But I didn't care I just felt so good!

If street photography is on your bucket list just do it it's so easy it's scary to ask for the very first time but you'll be surprised .

In reality you'll make somebody's day because you notice something about them. They'll have something to talk about to their friends about what happened to them today.

So just do it!


Anyways the last two pictures are the ones  the instructor picked,  the lady from Saturday striking a pose and the pigeon crossing the street. Those are the ones he liked the most.


















The last picture is from my instructor Eric Kim.

Very cool, but no watch photos???  


My favorite two are the two in color.  The pigeon using the crosswalk is hilarious and the lady playing with her dress has a great spirit about her.

Maybe not, but what is cool is photo #6. Is that a shirt or a dress or what? The print on the fabric appears to be Keith Haring art. Keith Haring is definitely the premier artist to grace a Swatch watch. He passed away in 1990 I believe. Keith Haring Swatches are some of the most collectible, therefore commanding some outrageous prices at times.

It's a tank top shirt what he's wearing. I saw this guy walking towards me from a distance and the print of his shirt caught my eye. A few seconds later I went up to him and ask him if I can take a picture of the shirt and he told me go ahead.

Take a look at www.dgrin.com/

It's a very good site with some really talented folks.

The Documentary section is where all street photography is located.
