Some from San Francisco.

Nice street shots John . Put me in mind of Henry's street pictures. (haven't heard from Henry here for a while. Hope he's ok in Central America. )

[Juanito200]

Thanks Birma- I had people photography as a goal while on vacation. I had originally wanted the guitar player for the "Person as an Individual" challenge, but my laptop died, so I had no way to process photos. Here is a MUNI bus driver that I managed to photograph just before he closed the doors of the bus. It seems I captured myself as well.
I'm sure Henry is fine down in Central America.. He is probably just too busy photographing the locals to stop and post anything!

[Birma]

Good capture with you in shot as well John!

[Juanito200]

Thanks Birma.. Speaking of people, I like your new avatar!
After a long walk around San Francisco, we came upon some dancers on Market Street. Luckily the gals were shopping nearby, so I could shoot without worrying about boring Dannelle and Emma.

Another good one John .

Speaking of people, I like your new avatar!

Well, the previous one was a bit old, and I had this picture from last weekend that Tilly (my daughter) took of me while we were out for a walk in the countryside. I like that the city of Worcester is in the extreme background. I had been messing around trying some stuff on the tripod and I had it set really low so that she could see through the view finder. We decided to take pictures of each other and this is her's of me.

A couple of guys taking turns on the pay-telescope at the top of an observation tower.

Great shot Kevin. I know exactly where that is!
Here is another one from San Francisco..

[Greg Beetham]

I haven’t checked this thread for a little while, I like all those SF street shots John, great peek into the daily happenings there.

Taken with my latest piece of kit - Nex 5 with SEL18-55. It is certainly much easier for me to take street shots with this .

Oo a guitar shop Birma, now a few shots of instruments in there would be interesting as well... and I wonder if the got their trainee stylist (on the left)? It looks sort of Mall-ish with no cars allowed in there, great idea. I like the photo very much.

Thanks Greg. I hope the Nex encourages me to shoot more street photopgraphy. Worcester has two dedicated guitar shops and another general music store that sells guitars as well. It must be a booming market . Older UK towns and cities are usually "pedestrianised" to some degree; that is the smaller streets around the main shopping area are closed to regular traffic so we don't all get squashed. I guess it is like a mall, but not enclosed and more irregular. There are a couple of smaller malls as well built in to the city centre. This particular street in Worcester is where a lot of the independent stores are, rather than the big chains. It also has a few very old timber framed buildings still.

That's a nice scene from Worcester Birma. I miss San Francisco's walkability already, and most buildings near me are less than 20 years old, and not that interesting.. I was just reading today that S. F. was voted America's 2nd most walkable city.
