    What Shall We Talk About

    My preferred style of street is to photograph individual people or situations. Generally I don't take photos of street scenes or scenes where people are in them. I thought this photo would be appropriate to discuss street photography in its many aspects. What shall we talk about? (For some reason loading the photo only loads thumbnails rather than the full sized photo. I am not doing anything different than in the past. I have no idea why it is doing this. Click the thumbnail and the full sized image will display.)

    Welcome to the forum!
    Even if it doesn't match one's own style, it is always pleasant and enriching to see different ways of doing things and expressing oneself, so it will be a pleasure to see your contributions.
    As for the images of the street sweeper, I must say I like both: a more formal portrait or a more colorful, painterly reinterpretation—each with its own appeal, whether more documentary or more expressive...

    That's great! That sticker could put half the city's auto body shops out of business 😄

    When I spotted a couple in the distance—the gentleman with a camera in hand—and saw the direction they were walking, I quickened my pace because I already knew where they would stop to take the obligatory photo. I barely made it in time 😄

    Thank you for your very nice remark and comment. I am pleased to be here. Though I am a little lost in how it all works. I hope you understand. I look forward to being here with you and others who may join in. Have a great day.

    Fine street photography. Perfectly captured. You handled the shaded conditions perfectly. I can clearly see all the many details of the photo. Anticipating the shot shows you are a very experienced street photographer. Well done. 👍

    ¡Muchas gracias!
    The truth is, my city is small, and I know certain spots well that might appeal to a photographer: I took that photo too 😄

    If you have a chance, can you post two murals captured together, please? Are they thematically connected to each other?
