Mobile Photography – Streets Ahead Interview with Lee Atwell
The Women’s Mobile Street Photography Collective (Streets Ahead) is extremely pleased and honored to feature Lee Atwell in this week’s interview. When I first learned about Lee’s work, it was immediately clear to me that she is an artist who definitely walks around with a pair of keen and sensitive eyes… because each one of her images is made up of beautiful compositions, textures and colors. Yet at the same time, she touches upon (and brings out) an emotional, almost spiritual, “feel” to her subjects and landscapes. It is has been a real joy and privilege getting to know Lee and work more completely… and it is highly recommended that…

Streets Ahead Interview: Jeanette Vazquez
This week we are extremely pleased to feature Jeanette Vazquez in our interview segment of “Streets Ahead.” I was really happy when Jeanette agreed to do this interview… because I’ve been following her photography for several months now. And what I admire most about her work is that, at first glance, I think I am seeing just a simple ordinary candid shot. But when I pause and look more closely. I inevitably find myself discovering more layers. Jeanette is clearly an artist who relies on her eyes, emotional connections and instincts to dictate her artistic decisions… not words or “stories.” We hope you enjoy her interview. And after reading this…
