I'm always so terrible shy about taking photos of strangers....but when I manage the courage {and the photos are in focus and not blurred from me rushing!} I do love the "soul" that the people give the place. Most of the time I've captured people around my pond where I walk...and it's interesting, but you see the dreamers, the loners, those with somewhere to be....and those on their phones...not unlike what you've captured here. My favorites are when I happen to capture a family, or a parent and child. Anyhow - lovely as always!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067468928499906171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664652681107757600.post-77160878587299503712015-04-01T06:09:24.047-04:002015-04-01T06:09:24.047-04:00Gorgeous!

You have brought us some wonderful studies of quietness and I think B&W is perfect for street photography. I wish I had more interesting scenes in my city to photograph. But alas no. I would love to play around with street photography but feel so intrusive with my camera. <br />Happy image taking and have a great week. And thank you for stopping by my blog and for your comments.

My favorite is the last one, with the benches, the fountains in the background, the winter trees, and the one intriguing soul sitting in repose.
