"Don't forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell." - Writer Charles de Lint As street photographers, images come naturally, but sometimes the words that make their story complete do not. In all honesty, one of the biggest challenges street photographers face when it comes to getting published is making the leap from a series of compelling images to a full-fledged street photography project, complete with a written commentary.
Street Shooters of May 2019
Lunch for a Picture by Robert Daveant Met this nice man on the streets of Cleveland on a cold winter day during my lunch break from work, I asked if I could trade a photo of him for me buying him lunch. He liked the idea, I took his photo and then we had Meatball sandwiches and a local sub shop.

Roberto Bordiga on Street Photography
What drew you to street photography initially? My interest in photography comes from my mother, I think. She was often snapping around with her point and shoot, taking family portraits and daily life moments. We have a lot of family photo books at home and I liked to sit down and browse through them. At one point she took photography classes and for the occasion, she bought a splendid Pentax K 1000 that later turned out to be my first camera. I was very attracted by that shiny, metallic, and
Street Shooters of April 2019
Florida Beach Hipster by Karl Dedolph The beach hipster looks friendly now but when he noticed I took his photo he went crazy.. I told him the scene was too good to pass up and obviously when he got dressed that day he knew people would be noticing him. He swore & made a big deal about taking his photo. I said thanks and kept walking. View on Website Bienvenidos by Ingrid Lundquist Lady throwing water out of the restaurant door in Baja View
A Conversation with Andy Breen
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. I saw, he was showing the customer how well he has shaved and then he looked at the mirror. I think, he tried to find himself in that. Probably, he was finding the inner
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.

The Metamorphasis of Michael Alvis
Michael Alvis has a lot of images in his Flickr account – 4,256 at the moment to be exact. I went pretty far back in his photostream and there, I witnessed a distinct evolution - from family photos and scenery, his feed seemed to morph into more city scenes, signage and city patterns and then some people, mostly strangers from behind, and then rather abruptly, the feed turned into amazing street shots of people, close up, each image of a uniform size with a distinct style. It was fascinating to
