i know, you must think i'm a stalker taking all these photos of unknowing people. i really am not, i promise. i just want to capture moments, life and pulse of this little town while exercising my creativity. this is probably my favorite shoot {feeling like a professional photographer here} of all. i love the second and third pictures because it shows their innocence and youth, then you'll see how technology kicks in on the other photos - most of you already know how i feel about texting, facebooking, two phones and a pager {as the lovely H would agree}, so i shall not repeat myself here, LOL.
anyway - these types of shoots are my favorite to photograph. they are quite challenging because they're not staged and you need to find a subject or two that's at the right place at the right time.
{photos were taken with nikon d80 18-200mm VR lens}
loving these picture posts! keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best kind of travel photography, the kind that features every day life. I love the challenge of taking these kinds of photos. Not only do you have to have an eye for these moments, but you have to know how to frame the shot while being discrete so that you can capture that million dollar image. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThese are good pics.
ReplyDeleteI love to see nice couples.
I love, love...........
TMI... LOL.

@kathy: i have started a street photo blog on tumblr, the link is on my blog because of these types of photos :) i hope i can keep it up as much as i do with the main blog.
so my favorite is that slightly fuzzy one of her laughing!
ReplyDeletekrystal, now that i think about it, yes i love that one, too! so much for the VR lens, i think that's user error. note to self: no margaritas in between photo shoots :)
ReplyDeleteThis is bad ass photography, Reni. I love it. And yes, youth...ah, time's going against me on this one.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything else that you don't do? J/K. These are great shots, I love the fact that you chose or had in mind this "young love" scene. I can't help notice that young boy's still got the bling going. Either I'm old, or he's not up to speed that blings these days no longer scream cool. But, that's just me. Peace.
ReplyDeletethe 3rd and the 6th are probably my fave. ah, dem blings. i'm glad i've out grown them. good catch on these images, perfect timing.
ReplyDeleteOMG! did they have any idea you took these photos of them? imagine if they ran into this blog post of yours?
ReplyDeletegreat real life photos! you're starting to inspire me. just need to brush up on my discreet taking photo skills...
You sneaky-pic taker you! I can tell you're really enjoying taking photos of life in action! Cute couple!
