Peace to you all
Thoughts and reflections on social documentary and street photography (my own work and that of others). In my work I seek to share and record the so-called ordinary moments in the lives of people I encounter mainly on the street and in urban environments. My approach is essentially humanist and I strive to document the human condition with love, respect, empathy and compassion. Also you can expect the occasional post on me and my life. Reflections on the life of the artist you might say!

My Pick for this week Spotted by Some, Ignored by Many
This week (well it's the first week for the "My Pick" feature) I've chosen an image first made in June 2012 but only processed and posted just a couple of days ago.
I like it a lot. It's an ordinary scene, but so full of life, full of story, and full of people. Not only that, a couple of the kids and at least one of the adults has spotted me!
And I don't mind that at all really. You often read how if "they" spot you, the moment's ruined. Well, have a look. Has it been "ruined" here? I don't think so. In fact there has been a special, even decisive, moment made manifest simply because I was there with my camera. I like to think about that idea.
If you like image, please tell me. If you don't, please tell me! Any comments or feedback is always welcome.
Thank you for visiting!
Peace

Tower of Song A Tribute to All Who Labour There
Musicians, singers, performers of all kinds bring us not only listening pleasure but can change our lives and always enrich the cultural life of any society. Here you will find a slideshow of some of those creative souls. And as a treat the show is backed by the master himself Leonard Cohen with his Tower of Song, which is of course where all workers in song labour for all of us.
