Street Photography

When I did the “100 Strangers in One Day” challenge, I discovered that the people we meet or see as we walk down the street, are in the middle of their own lives. They have things they are trying to accomplish whether they are shopping, walking with a loved one (or their vacuum- photo of the red Dirt Devil is below), or just sitting at their favorite coffee shop – they are all doing something.

When I was taking my strangers’ photos, I realized I was simply doing portraits as opposed to street photography. When I realized this, I tried to take step back and take another frame. I wanted to show what some of these people were actually doing when Jenna and I came across them.
