Street Photography

This evening August 13, 2013 I will be teaching "Street Photography" for my photo club Hampton Roads Digital Photography Club.  Photographers always want to know what it takes to improve. Some will spend money on every new piece of gear they can buy. Some will spend countless hours reading books, watching videos and learning new software. These things are important but only a few will actually do the things that they really need to do. The most important thing they can do is take more photos. Because you learn by doing. I've been a photographer since my teens. Street Photography is "moment in time" frozen by the camera. It's capturing the "Decisive Moment" as attributed to the late great Henri Cartier-Bresson The more photographs you take the better you will get. More info on sharing your work soon.

It's the start of the weekend. Today's photo is the : The Statue of Liberty. I've had the opportunity to visit many times. Whenever I see it I always wonder what did the people think when they passed by it on the way to Ellis Island. From 1892-1954 about twelve million immigrants entered the United States through Ellis Island. It's funny New York always used to claim it but its located in New Jersey.

Anyway...this week my good friend and fellow photographer Genevieve Neal posted this very timely blog post entitled "Being in the Moment". It's a must read.
