Hi Bruce I'd like very much to give you a few "atta-boys" for this little gallery, but I can't. The "street" is a dynamic, vibrant, organic place, teeming with activity and life, filled with joy and sorrow and humor and relationships. There are connections between people, between people and

Hello Shel, When we planned this get together, we had decided to shoot a genre that was different for many of us. I, among others, were totally out of our element as we made our first attempts at this. I'm happy that you would be so clear in your discussion about what it really means to capture

Good grief, Shel, aren't you making a large assumption here? Bruce was shooting in the city. Does that mean he HAS to be shoot in a particular kind of way, and more precisely, in the manner characterised as "street photography"? When it is clear (by, amongst other things, the absence of pe

Very nice. Love the pic through the waterfall. I like "Interesting Alley," but it appears to be leaning about 1 degree to the right. To my mind, it's the kind of shot that has to be either totally tilted or perfectly aligned. Thanks for sharing. Paul On Oct 18, 2005, at 1:10 AM, Bruce Dayton wr

Whatever the original intention, Bruce has displayed eight pictures of which only one (the musician) can really be classified as "street photography", IMO, (well, it shows the street, and people on it). And, of course, you're entitled to your opinion of its merits. I never suggested otherw

Bruce, Despite Shel's remarks, I liked the Alley Fire Escape and Jared & Ashley best. I wish the guys (or guy) in the alley were doing something more interesting, but the graphics of the fire escape and building walls just do it for me. Ashley's face in the light is a nice contrast with the dark ba

Heya Bruce! I have gathered together a little gallery of my street attempts at our recent outing. http://www.daytonphoto.com/Galleries/NorCalSF/index.htm Of these photos, the one that I find most compelling is the photograph in the restaurant, and behind that the drummer/singer. I think y

I appreciate all the comments that have been made on this little gallery. I believe that some of Shel's comments stem from the fact that at each of our PDML gatherings, we try to focus on a specific type of photography. This particular one was to focus on the genre of 'street', as it were. As I
