[Leica] IMG: Is it street photography?

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Hi Philippe,

You have captured a really way of life of the Mediterranean, or in general
Spanish way of life, it is an interesting serie and a good idea. The life
outside is quite usual in Spain. It seems to me that on a couple of pictures
the people was not authentical Spanish ones, you have the opportunity to
come back and search for more photos on the balconys, but my modest advice,
look for the authentical Spanish people. Today's Rambla is plenty of
tourist, included the balconys.

Saludos cordiales
Luis

Asunto: [Leica] IMG: Is it street photography?

Hi Listers and Luggers,

I strolled through the streets of (multi-layered) Barcelona this Summer, and
as a Northerner, I was surprised to find that so many people seemed to spend
time on their balconies.
They probably wanted some not-so-hot temperatures and a draft, I realised
afterwards.
So, not desiring to enter a street photography race with Luis, which I knew
I would have lost, I kept my nose up for a while and shot this series.

(Thanks Steve for the tinyurl tip, hope it works)

I don't know if they deserve to be called street photography at all, but
were shot from the street.
Best viewed large, for some of them.

C&C Are Always Anticipated And Aprreciated. (C2A6) Yours Phil...x
