Street Hack

[twoshadows]

My wife and I ended up in Shelburne today. We had gone out for a drive looking for landscapes and got hungry so we stopped and ate in "downtown". While there I came across some young men playing hackie sack. These two were quite good:







I never did find that landscape shot. I found a couple of locations, but it was the wrong time of day. So I'll be going back out .

Nice! Those are some great street scenes, I take it they didn't mind one bit that you were taking their photo.

Actually, if you look at the 1st pic, that's my business card in his hand. I asked first and they were totally into to it. Thanks for looking and commenting, Sandy.

Wow. These are some really good shots Ian. Shots that capture everyday life are my favorite. Great job.

I'll say one thing though, I'm definitely not coordinated enough to "hack".

Yeah, lol. I usually give out my business card after I've taken a few pics. This way, the subject doesn't feel so much like " who's this creepy guy taking my pic". Also I tell them that they're welcome to look at my web site for their picture - no promises, but if I post it, that's where it'll be. It's funny, but working for the paper and the college, where I had to approach people, engage them and take their pic has made street photography quite a bit easier. Go figure .

Thanks, Jay. Actually, we did stop to see the glass artists there but they are closed for renovations til September. My wife makes glass beads, so she's very keen on anyone that works with glass. BTW, I never got to say congrats on becoming VT group leader. Congrats

Thanks. I agree with you on the people=pita thing. I didn't realize until I read your post that I have become more comfortable at taking people's pictures. Mostly due to a job I had for the college where I had to approach students, get their permission AND have them sign a release before I took a pic. By those standards, street photography is easy .

Peace,

Ian
