Portuguese Festival, New Bedford, 2004
I've been in the past, running archived images through Lightroom. Amazing the improvements using this powerful program!
In the process of editing 2004, I'm hoping to find some diamonds in the rough. These festival shots never saw the light of day... till now.
Looked at Death Valley, 2004, while I was at it, and ended up using one of the dunes for my new website:
So I've finished with '04. Now another look at the Italy Trip. Rome and Sicily, '06. Lot's of subject matter there, and I admit, I'm feeling the itch to both return (we always want to go back), and also to pick up the 7D and do some "street" on Federal Hill. Here's one from Rome '06.
Girl On Scooter, Rome, 2006
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about street photography:
Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment. On the other hand, much street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely personal rendering of the subject matter, giving the audience a more visceral experience of walks of life they might only be passingly familiar with. In the 20th century, street photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture in Europe and North America, and elsewhere.
Best to you all on this cold January morn,
