The Weekly Street Photography Thread #5 18/04/2025

The Weekly Street Photography Thread
Welcome to the street photography weekly thread. We start it on Fridays. 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.

Princess

Another street/environmental portrait. The girl was very shy; I struggled to get a good composition.

Princess Bob Dylan

(Following the Princess theme) Occasionally I may ask permission for a portrait, as I did here, after engaging this young man in a conversation about his cat. When I first spotted him he was frenziedly running down Decatur St in the French Quarter of New Orleans, and the cat was riding calmly as seen, unperturbed, unusual behavior for a cat. He told me he took up with this young cat he assumed to be male, and named it Bob Dylan, but after her first litter of kittens, he renamed her as Princess Bob Dylan, and she rides his shoulders or walks calmly on her lead.

I have shared this one before in another forum, and it created a great controversy about street photography in general. For me, street photography is about people, as they are, and everyone has a story deserving to be told.

Intimate Interlude

Four legs v two wheels!

The main street through the old town of Briançon in the French Alps. I was just framing a view when these two came tearing up the street 😀
