Santa Sighting

I had the opportunity to catch Santa away from work.

He said that he was enjoying his time on vacation.

He gave me a  smile and thumbs up.

I guess I've been good.

Street Photo No. 2

The was a time not long ago when I had never heard of.....

Street Photography

Documentary Style

Candid Portraiture

In 2010 something inside me clicked while I was in Chicago. 

I felt the need to capture a certain style of image for the first time.

My thoughts changed when I brought the camera to my eye.

I snapped this photo while riding on the "L".

I remember vividly.....

the environment

the company I was with

the feelings I felt while shooting this image.

Street Photo No. 1

Street Photo No. 1

In 2010 I didn't know what street photography was.
I shot mostly JPEG SOOC, Straight Out Of the Camera, with no post-processing. 

We were on a trip to Chicago and I took a street shot without knowing it.  

I knew that I wanted the guy in the frame.  

I had made the proper adjustments on my camera.

I was anxiously waiting for him to look at me. 

I wanted his eyes on the camera when I pushed the shutter release.  

My heart was pounding.  

It was exhilarating.

I was traveling with family, my mom.  

She likes color photographs.  

I'm partial to black and white.

I converted the JPEG to black and white sometime later.

I added contrast, increased the blacks.

My post-processing has evolved since then.....

This photo still captures my style and is pleasing to my eyes.
