Strum

Strum, a photo by donlee98 on Flickr.

Well it's starting to look like summer again here in the Northwest and that means more people on the streets and a street photography assault.

My approach to street photography isn't quite 'shock and awe' but I do like to jump into an interesting scene and capture moments like the photo above.

I found this gentleman at last year's Alberta street fair. He was just strumming along with his fingers and looked up at me just in time for me to catch his eyes in the crosshairs of my camera lens. He just kept strumming so I just kept clicking. It's dynamic moments like this that I just love about street photography.
