Just looking out the window? No. It hardly exists any longer. Today I see young and old, staring down in their screens.

Eyes and directions.
I like eyes a lot. Very often in a good street photography you got that look straight into your lens. But sometimes peoples looks tells a lot too. And they’re great to establish projections and directions in a pic.
For you.
I met this man as I was leaving downtown Indianapolis (Circle Monument) a day in late November. The first I saw was his fine set of flowers, it’s was only as I already had asked for a pic (with a friendly nod of head) as I also saw the lollipop. He stopped for a short while and I took three more pics.
Beautiful moments.
Next up of my Street Photography friends is Daniel Eliasson, the man behind “Streetpeople.se”. We’ve done some collaborations, even if I consider him slightly more experienced as a photographer than I am. He’s a fun guy, the perfect company as you browse night life in a larger city…
Daniel and I wrote the original Street photography course at “Daily Bits of”, the version in Swedish. That was a great experience as we tried to pin down the pure basic elements of how to approach photography on the streets. Today there’s also an English version, that I wrote myself out of our mutual work.
Anyway, Daniel is a really good photographer, that’s already have had several workshops and exhibitions. Here are just a few examples of his storytelling.
Botten upp (Bottoms up)
Doften av ditt hår (The scent of your hair)
Ballongpappan och retstickorna (Balloon dad and the rascals)

In his own words: “I try to capture beautiful moments. Snapshots of life and social interactions between people. When I shoot street photos, I always look for the extraordinary. Something that sticks out from the regular. After 15 years, I still chase the perfect photo. I doubt it will ever come, but that’s what drives and motivates me; the hunt for the perfect street photography.”
