It's a lot easier to take photos of random people in the street when you're in a city!
It would be so much harder to go taking street photos in my tiny place.
So I usually only ever get my "Stranger in the Street"-photos when I'm away from home. Places where there are many tourists help a lot as people with cameras shooting in each and every direction are normal and nothing to worry about.
So to start my "dive" into this new theme-thread, let me choose some "Strangers in the Street" photos from Venice in Italy, all taken on 9 April 2009 (the first, the one and the only day I've ever been to Venice).
1. "Gondoliere" and young father
2a. Morning "espresso" and talk in "piazza"
2b.
3. In "piazza" (the same square as the one where I took the two previous ones)
4. And one more from that "piazza"
5. Venice is not only a place for tourists (though there are very, very many of them!), it wouldn't have managed to exist for centuries, if it weren't for the people who work there!
6a. All the goods, everything that is needed or is going to be sold or served (as food and drink etc.) has to arrive by boat and be unloaded here.
6b.
6c.
6d.
6e.
6f.
There are more to come.
I'm appalled at the way Flickr makes the uploaded photos look soft ...
