Andy, what drew you to street photography initially? I initially bought a camera for my mom for her birthday. She didn't use it much and eventually I started to shoot with it for no particular reason. Where do you shoot (mostly) and how would you describe your city to other street photographers? I shoot in Buffalo and surrounding areas. The population is sparse and it can be difficult to find something that you think isn't boring. I think a lot of street photographers who
Street Shooters of March 2019
Art in Progress by Thomas Mirenda Charlottesville's downtown mall is a wealth of creative talent. Here is a local artist creating his image of the mall. View on Website Finding myself by Rajiul Huda Dipto A barber was there in the side of street in Dhaka and I was in the traffic jam.

Street Shooters of February 2019
Checking the Latest Listings by Stephen Muskie I spend a lot of time shooting along a seven block area of the Charlottesville, Virginia downtown mall. It's amazing that I continue finding good photo subjects there after two years. Of course it's the light, the people, the weather, and activities that change while the architecture stays the same.

Shammara McKay on Street Photography
What drew you to street photography initially? How did you get started with the genre? As an introvert, I’ve always been quicker to listen than speak and that sort of carried over into my photography. I’m a naturally observant person so street photography just really happened accidentally after I started carrying a camera with me everywhere. I’m drawn to organic, candid moments that usually go unnoticed. It’s exciting because you never know what to expect when you’re out shooting, it’s a new
