The Impossible People

Street photography. Not always a very satisfying type of photography because you can never get people to bend to your own will. I can't randomly go up to a person and ask him whether I can take their photo for no valid reason. This applies even more when the person in question doesn't speak the same damn language as you do. This brings me back to my photography streak in France. See for yourself:

Crazy old lady with awesome Nikon camera. This photo is a very annoying reminder that pictures don't always go the way you want it to. I waited just a second too long to take the photo. As a result her face is blocked. The photo isn't COMPLETELY hedious, I suppose.

I would have turned this one into a monochrome but I realised that when I did that it made the picture quite flat because the yellow didn't stand out in b&w.

My fave out of this lot. Turned it into a sepia pic and I have to say, it's pretty good. =) I especially like the tones on the jeans and wall. The black colours however are a bit clashing.

My only non-France photo. I took this a couple days ago. I was just testing out the lens and this is the clearest I was able to get. My technique needs a bit of work...

Spoken like a bona fide Fool

Aha....this is going to be my first commentary on a photograph I took


I don't have a title for this photo(not that I've a title for my other photos). It was taken on a bright evening after a rain and after I did some tweeking to the colours and contrast, I got this..

Colours and dimensions are generally quite flat and clear cut but it's complicated by satellite dishes and what not. I just goes to show how man has been able to complicate a simple canvas by putting in unnecessary detail.



That's all I can say for now....I'm just taking a break from my work. Time to get back into it
