Friday on Film

When I shoot film I always feel like the end result has warped me back in time.These two shots from the parking garage near Chinatown in San Francisco are no exception, they feel really nostalgic to me. Perhaps it's because of the black and white film, or the point of view that I was shooting from.Whatever it is, I like it.

Getting Shot

Thinking about it, this should have been my first post in this series. This is the post where I finally share some of the crazy-fun women I met while while in San Francisco....

After hugs were given and real names were replaced by our online handles, we got straight to doing what we all do best pushing that shutter button. I was shooting and getting shot from the left and from the right. The click-itty-click of the Bay Area Shutter Sisters in action was like music to my ears. Do you see all those smiles? Smiles big enough to spot even behind the body of a big old camera!

SHOOT

We shoot looking down and we shoot looking up...

 We shoot through car windows and across streets.

We shoot each other, shooting each other and we shoot ourselves.

We shoot our feet when they are on the ground.

 We shoot while trying to stay serious, then we throw caution to the wind and shoot as we laugh and allow our feet the leave the ground.

weeeeee!

Saturday Market

Today, I will share a few of my favorite street shots from last weekend. We left Ross Alley and headed off to lunch. On the way, weaved in and out of the crowded sidewalks of a market area.

The produce and boxed goods provided great colors and some fantastic repetition. There were all ages of people going about their every day activities- shopping, selling, checking for winning lottery numbers...

I was hoping to not be too invasive with my camera as the locals went about their Saturday shopping, so most of these shots were taken blindly. I honestly wasn't sure what I would get as I clicked off frame after frame.

Street photography like this is addictive. I can't wait to get out and shoot like this again.
