street photography

Happy New Year friends! After spending time with family for Christmas I headed south to Sedona, AZ! I had a great time! I have been here once before but was on a time schedule to get back to the Grand Canyon before the snow fell. I had to go to Sedona because it was the only place I could pick...

In 2018 I went to the Middle East for the first time. It was a two-week trip with my younger sister who speaks Arabic. Starting in Amman in the north, we worked our way south, spending a few nights in Petra and then volunteering for a week for the Bedouins that run tours in Wadi Rum desert. It...

I caught this girl day dreaming the other day in a Venice Beach restaurant. I can only imagine what she is wishing for. In ACR I took the Texture to -100 and had 0 Clarity along with -20 on Dehaze to get the dreamy look. There are dreamy actions out there, but I preferred to do it myself. All...

As usual, I caught this from my window! 75K_5794 T2a Sig 1000 by Tom Makofski posted Sep 21, 2019 at 9:47 AM

I caught this up in Pismo Beach a few weeks back. It looked like 2 friends sharing a meal and some laughs. All comments are welcome, Jim

As the town sleeps the old shines bright. (I used a Luma Cube LED to get a little more glow in the head lights, it's amazing the light that little puppy can put out.)

Upon further review, it looked like this group of people were playing charades there in the Orange Circle area while waiting for dinner. All comments are welcome, Jim

This was from the recent meetup with Dave and Lenny (Nilo) in The Orange Circle in the city of Orange California. The photographer was taking a film course at a local college and the model is her friend. I went with color originally because I liked the orange hair of the model. I tried a B&W...

Dave, Lenny (Nilo) and I met yesterday evening at The Orange Circle in the city of Orange here in SoCal for an evening of Street photography but also some City photography including some cool historical interiors. https://www.focalworld.com/index.php?threads/the-orange-circle-2019-06-17.9030/...

What a blast, I've never done street photography at night before. This is the courthouse in Montrose, Co. I wanted to get some car trails, but it's a tough go when you only get one car going be every five minutes or so, plus the 15 degree temp was a little rough on the fingers during the...

Another shot from Long Beach California that I took with Dave (Thorhammer) a few weeks back. Looking back it was a rich environment we went into. I know I came back with a treasure trove of photos. Jim

Out in a food district in Long Beach waiting for Mom.

From Long Beach California one fine evening.

Caught this couple passing by on some bikes. Again in Long Beach California from last weekend. All comments are welcome, Jim

Down in Long Beach last weekend with Dave, I caught this old lady with the US flag over her cart walking across the cross walk at the same time as these other guys were walking the other way. One thing I noticed back at home was because I was panning with the lady as she walked across the...

"Portland Marriott" The downtown Portland Marriott. I was walking around the downtown Portland streets on a rainy Thursday afternoon. I shot the images with this style of processing in mind. All comments are welcome.
