Thank you, Helen. After having explored several kinds of photography I have finally settled for street photos, because I am very interested in people and their behaviour in the public space. At the moment I am doing a course in street photography and hope to get better every day, so that you can keep enjoying these snippets.
It is a very interesting course. We not only learn a lot about the history of street photography, but the assignments are also very challenging as they are meant to sharpen our view. Ten minutes ago I returned from a photo tour aiming to take pictures like those of Robert Frank in his album ‘The Americans’.
Yes, I have seen quite a lot of her photos. Right now I am reading a book of the history of street photography which dedicates a long chapter to her, so I will be getting there briefly.
There’s another one you might come across. She was unknown in her day, but someone I met in Glasgow found a treasure trove of her work dating back to 1920s. He has curated exhibitions in Paris, New York and Moscow. She was a wonderful street photographer….only her name escapes me for the moment . I’ll google it and send it to you later.
I’m posting right now on my new MONOZONE website and am just linking a Pingback to you.
Thank you, Laura. The young man at the foreground must have been deep in thought, because he did not notice me at all. I got the impression he was a bit sad, but that could be my imagination.
The Photographer Roamed the Streets... 
I’m enjoying seeing these snippets of people’s lives.

Have you ever seen the work of Dianne Arbus? We went to an exhibition of her work a few years ago. Those image will stay with me forever I think.
