Mobile Photography – StreetWise – Tenth Challenge “Lines in the Street”
Welcome to our Tenth StreetWise Challenge ‘Lines in the Street.’ This is a fun theme for a challenge and a prevailing one in photography! “While we are working, we must be conscious of what we’re doing.” Henri Cartier-Bresson Many street photographers when they go out taking street photos are looking at how they can create strong compositions with the use of lines. Others have predominant lines in their photos without intentionally searching them out, but, the inclusion of lines can help make the image a strong one. Lines are a powerful tool for directing the viewer’s eye and attention to the main subject of a photograph. Compositional lines can be…

Mobile Photography – StreetWise – Ninth Challenge – ‘Animals on the Street’
Hello Everyone! The theme of our next challenge is ‘Animals on the Street.’ “I try to frame in terms of what I want to include. I don’t think about pictures. When I photograph. I see life. That’s all there is – in my viewfinder.” Garry Winogrand We hope you enjoy this theme as ‘streets’ and the animals that inhabit them are intimately connected. Whether the animals are domesticated, trained, loved and adored by their owners or birds maneuvering their way through the open air of the streets, they are an integral part of the urban landscape.

Mobile Photography – StreetWise – Eighth Challenge – ‘People Working in the Street’
Hello Everyone! The theme of our next challenge is ‘People Working in the Street’ “The question is not what you look at, but what you see” Henry Thoreau. This is a popular theme and for good reason — people are at work everywhere on the street. In our daily lives, we see folks in uniforms working for local municipalities on the street, such as policemen and women, traffic officers, school crossing guards, street cleaners to name just a few. Others sell things on the street from clothing and accessories to fruits and veggies, books, or anything at all. People work in ways that can be seen from the street, in…

Mobile Photography – StreetWise Showcase – September 2016
“There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.” Henri Cartier-Bresson It is incredibly inspiring to view all of the photos submitted to our StreetWise Flickr group from around the world – from stunning night scenes, to dramatic black and whites, to captures filled with color, to photos that touch the heart.
