    The Weekly Street Photography Thread

    Welcome to the street photography weekly thread.
    We are hoping to get your images and hear what other members think about them.
    It is open to all members of the forum; members can post a single image or a selection of images on a theme in a single post. Multiple posts are allowed.
    What constitutes street photography has always been debatable. There are several opinions about it, and we do not want to restrict participants. You can post whatever you deem fits into the genre; however, please be prepared to hear criticism as well.

    Guidelines:
    1. We aim to increase the popularity of street photography and encourage our fellow photographers to be more interested in the genre.
    2. Give your photo a title and include any other information you think is relevant. I personally love to know why you made this photo, what attracted you to make it, and why you like it. But this is NOT MANDATORY.
    3. A single image or a theme-based group of images are allowed. No multiple posts, please.
    4. If you post an image, that means you are ready to hear feedback.
    5. We want to hear your thoughts about others’ posts.
    6. Please keep all posts civilised and polite.
    7. Unless specifically stated otherwise by the original poster, please do not modify the images.

    Gold Man on the way to work.

    Gold Man is a regular street mime in the French Quarter in New Orleans. I've known him for years. He lives Uptown and takes the trolley in every day. This particular day I saw him before he saw me and snapped this shot. I gave him a copy later. Now that he knows me, I have to catch him unaware to get decent shots or he does too much posing. After all, he is a professional mime.

    I like the unposed photo better than a posed one.

    Yesterday, I went on a photo walk with Fuji in York (UK). It was a great day. Part of it was being given a challenge to show what we thought "street" meant in the context of tourists. I came up with three themes - Food, Phones and Queues. What do you think?

    These are food:
    Sharing:
    Food1 - EAEF0054-1_Superlarge.jpg

    Not sharing - stealing
    Food3 - EAEF0057-1_Superlarge.jpg

    Everyone eats:

    Phones:
    Concentration - but what is he taking?
    Phones1 - EAEF0040-1_Superlarge.jpg

    I can see what she is taking - but why the back view?
    Phones2 - EAEF0051-1_Superlarge.jpg

    Is he instructing her on how to use a selfie stick?

    Queues
    No, the queue is over there
    Queue1 - EAEF0030-1_Superlarge.jpg

    No idea what the queue is for, but let's join it anyway

    The shop queue - this one lasts all day.

    Fascinating set in a horrific sort of way. Makes me really glad not to live in York!

    You nicely documented absurdities of mass tourism: Crowded, tasteless, self centric !

    An interesting character and a nice play of colors. A little blurry, on the edge...

    Agree, It is a beautiful moment of introspection that only a candid photo can preserve...

    They sound familiar to me, changing the language of the signs in the stores, they could be taken in almost any city.
    A good collection of images…

    Sésamo.

    What's up, this used to be a Lebanese restaurant, but it seems that around here hummus, falafel, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, shawarma, fattush and baklava don't have enough popularity. We like the steak better, it seems...

    The colours and composition are lovely! I love Lebanese food, but I eat too much and don’t cook it often. I think a medium-rare steak would go well with tabbouleh, but I wouldn’t touch anything with garlic while enjoying the steak. :)

    My friend, sharpness is a bourgeois concept 😂
