A few shot from a walk I took in March.

    I really like your random street shots.
    They are fun.

    Though I may be strung up, I like your processing on your last shot the most.

    There is no sense of cohesion here if that matters to you--just random images, but I really enjoy your sets.

    I really like the first two. Very nicely timed and framed to catch expressive moments.

    The third, for me, is hurt by the upraised hand on the left (perhaps it should be cropped out?), but the image still works well because you caught the laughing girl at just the right moment.

    The fourth shot (the keyboard player) is also well-timed (you're good at that, I can tell!), but the framing feels off to me -- I wonder if it might have been better with the camera turned a bit to the right and slightly down? It seems like the left-most and top-most parts of the image don't really add anything.

    The last image doesn't say much to me. I have the impression that the focus of interest is supposed be the figure holding the newspaper (just below the B of "Bangkok Market"), but there are too many other competing elements in the frame, and backlighting and lens flare make it hard to see him clearly. I don't think the off-kilter horizon helps either.

    Got bored with digital and went back to film.

    Thanks Liz.

    I get out in the street and shoot random stuff. Unless I find an event I don't stay in one place too long. My favorite thing to shoot is candids. So I have lots of random candids.
