Guildford never feels as inspiring as my trips to london, but here's a selection from recent times.

Love these beautiful and candid street shots. I like the #8 and #11 most. You captured them nicely.

Hmmmm... a wee bit boring perhaps? Because of lacking context I suppose. Take a good look at the pictures of Ed van der Elsken and let yourself be inspired by him. I believe a selection of his photographs is available in a book called Amsterdam!, still in print. Success!
Regards,
RobPan.

Thanks for sharing Dan, I enjoyed viewing your photos.

Question, why so many black and white when we live in a world of colors?

If colour is the reason for me taking the photo, then it'll likely be left in colour.

If it's emotion, a scene with a story, etc.. colour often distracts and I'll choose mono. Mono really helps to show the soul in photos - not to say mine are THAT good but it does make a night and day difference to me.

Besides since posting this thread, I do less telephoto in the street now - use my 35mm a lot more

If left in colour, you'd see the colours of their suitcases - who cares what colour they are that is not the point of the photo.

i like your telephoto street shots !

Thanks, but they do get me a lot of grief it's like you can't take photos for enjoyment unless they conform to everyone's individual belief. Sometimes it's enough to make me forget that there are other people who like them.

These are great shots. I've never really had the bottle to just start taking pictures of strangers in the street like this. You have a story-teller's touch I would say .

Love these photos, thanks for posting.
Also really like your b&w processing, really tight and crisp (not sure if I'm expressing that correctly photographically!)
