When they see you

by

I like taking pictures of people on the street. I like it even more when right as I’m taking the picture the people look right at me haha. It was easy to see me coming when I was shooting these photos. I was shooting with a Canon 1DX which is a massive camera and hard …

The Beautiful People

by

Ok so right after I took that picture of the wall in my last post I started walking up the street and this group of guys started yelling some stuff about taking a picture in Spanish. My Spanish I awful so I was’t exactly sure what they were saying, but as they started posing while …

She was walking

by

It was an average fall day in Calgary and she was walking down the street through the East Village of Calgary. I too was walking down the street, however I was on a mission to find people who would let me take their picture. Just moments before I had shot another photo of a guy …

Pictures of Strangers (video)

by

When I was in Calgary in September I wondered around the city taking pictures of strangers. I wanted to shoot some photos of people with my Pentax 6×7 medium format film camera, but I didn’t have any models. I figured I might as well just go walk up to people on the street ask them …

A Touch Darker in Portland

by

Street photography in Portland is great! The city is dense enough to have busy streets and the streets are beautiful. This is the perfect combination for getting good street shots, at least that’s what I think. I was just playing around in Lightroom last night editing some old photos. If you read this blog you …

Fujifilm on the streets

by

Lately I’ve been missing shooting with my Fujifilm camera. I just loved all the little dials and nobs for changing your settings. The small camera (X-T2 in this case) made photography a little extra fun for me. The only thing is, I know I can get better images using my Sony camera (on account of …

One from the Streets

by

I used to do a lot of street photography. I kind of fell off the street photo scene in part because I started really loving to shoot with old manual focus lenses, but I dont enjoy using them for street photography. On top of that I switched to Sony and am using an adapted 50mm …

Nice Place

by

So I was walking around Waikiki one day just looking around and taking in the sights when I passed by this beautiful hotel. I stopped and admired it for a moment, took a picture and went on my way. I’m sure this hotel is just as nice on the inside, but without a doubt the …

Enjoy The Sunset

by

I was out one day for a walk the park and was enjoying the sunset. I walked up on this couple who were taking it all in with a front row seat. That feather in the guys cap caught my eye and I thought putting the sun right between them would be perfect. I like …

Guys on a Mountain

by

I was hiking up a mountain one day this past summer and I saw these guys sitting on the edge of a cliff having a nice little rest for them selves. I thought it looked like a moment, so I shot a quick photo. I really should have taken one of their emails so I could …

Doggie from a Walk

by

On Sunday I went to this cool Instagram meet up put on by @YYCinstameets. Everyone met up by the store down the street from my house and then we all went on a photo walk around my neighbourhood. It was pretty cool! This cute little doggy came along for the trip and I snapped this …

A Walk in Chinatown

by

I was in Chinatown the other day here in Calgary and I took a few street shots. I decided to shoot 35mm just to mix things up a little and force my self to get a little closer to my subjects. I definitely prefer 50 over 30, but it’s fun to get a little closer …
