    Can You See Us?

    Yesterday I commented on my own presence, and whether I, as a Street Photographer, was seen by those who I photographed, or whether I could blend in and simply disappear from view. Which led me to wonder how many other people there are on the streets who we do not see.

    Can You See Me?

    The part I enjoy about being a Street Photographer is capturing images of people who do not know they are being photographed. Leaving aside the possible legal ramifications of such an action, it is, for me, one of the best forms of photography.

    Bremen: High In The Sky

    Not all of the exciting things happen at ground level. Now and then there is a little spectacle up in he skies: a special sunset; a formation of clouds; a beautiful building reaching up into the sky; Superman flying past or, in this case, a set of trapeze artists walking the high wires between the tallest buildings around the Domplatz and Marktplatz in the centre of Bremen.

    Hannover: First Impressions

    It is no secret that the very first impression a person receives, whether they realise it or not, is the one which will influence them for a while to come. It could be a person, it could be a product or, in this case, a city. That first view settles how the mood is going to be for then rest of the day, and it is very hard to shift, to sway, to dispose of.

    Hamburg: Monday, 24 June 2024

    The first day of my Travel Week, which turns out not to be an entire week after all, since we all have other commitments, but close enough to be satisfying. And where better to start than in Hamburg, on a beautifully sunny Monday morning when, as I thought, there would be little if anything going on, and perhaps a few good images to be caught.
