That’s right, I’m taking it to the streets. I have this idea for a series that I want to do in the Spring and so I’m working on the details in the way of release forms and a portfolio and cards to carry with me. I’m going to hit Whyte Avenue and take photos of people with little stories about their Whyte Avenue experiences. I think it will be fun and I’m hoping that I can overcome my fear of photographing strangers. I want it to be up close and personal and I am hoping to attempt to put together a little show if it comes together the way I want it to come together. We’ll see. Mostly, I really want to capture some of the spirit of people out for the day, doing their thing and I figure Spring is the perfect time to capture that spirit of fun and freedom, the shedding of cold and being cooped up, the happiness of sun rays. So, I’m sort a busy trying to design me some cards and some examples of my photography. I figure if I’m going to approach people, it might help both me and them if I am upfront about what I am doing and I offer them prints and they can see what my photos look like. I’m excited and Spring is quickly approaching. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, because it be on my mind and because I have more than a few photos lately from both Edmonton and Vancouver, I thought I’d do a little street series. This one is definitely NOT up close and personal but I’ve been having fun in streets nonetheless. Over the next few days, I will bring you some street shots. Most of them are film with a 50 mm fixed lens, colour and tri-x black and white.
