Why you pointing that camera in my face?




Street photography is something that has captured my interest of late, I think the ability to capture that moment in time and be right in there with life when you take the shot is something really intriguing.




Having looked at some of the excellent work in Nottingham by Stephen Wright I am quite amazed at what can be captured if you are good enough and brave enough to almost point that small camera lens into peoples daily lives. I look at some of the photos and they start to raise questions? who are they, what are they doing, where are they going, why that look, do they know something............ that for me is the real skill of good street photography in that as well as capturing that glimpse into life on a macro scale it invokes thought and questions from the viewer. You can almost let your imagination run wild and make up a whole story from one well captured single photograph.




.......... So here is a picture........... what does it inspire in you, does it evoke any memories or raise any questions, what is happening in that snapshot of life?




Collaboratively we can write the story............ over to you!
