Any se?oritas and se?oras appearing in the images are purely incidental and none have been objectified as far as I can tell. I have also been careful to keep the gender ratio as close to 50/50 as practicable: http://www.fotocycle.dk:80/paws/?page_id=271 Hi Nathan, Each time you post a new set of photographs, or it seems? When you start out, do you have a theme of subject in your mind to watch for? Or is it purely walking the street shooting whatever visual moment catches your eye? In other words ?this morning I?m looking for father and child type situations?? Or old men doing nothing or something off the norm or quietly napping?? Or whatever subject you may think of? It seems you always or nearly so, have a visual continuity of subjects making the series far more interesting rather than a rambling all over the wall collection of happy snaps without any connection than they are some kind of meaningless photo. The other side of this is to go out open minded and let the visuals take their course as and if they happen? I?ve shot in both fashions when shooting documentary assignments and had success with both. But the theme seems to work better because you look harder with a start and end point. Just a passing thought that might help others who leave home for a walk thinking ?I?m going to shoot some pictures.? Then when the walk is over they may or may not have some neat images or just a bunch of exposures. Worse? No interesting observations creating keeper photos ending with ?select all, delete all!? :-( Ted PS: >>> Any se?oritas and se?oras appearing in the images are purely incidental and none have been objectified as far as I can tell.<<< Please do not let the previous nonsense of PC ramblings due to an over active mind block your vision in shooting photographs as you see them in the light of the day or night!
