Here’s a small preview of what’s to come in my August Street Photo Gallery. I captured this guy as he was sleeping his way through the narrow streets in the old city of Jerusalem.
The Depth of Field isn’t extremely shallow, but still shallow enough to lead the eyes to the boy and the two women. Theoretically I could have shot this at a different aperture to blur out the background even more, but here the background also creates the scene. Sometimes when you’re shooting street photography, you just have to be quick to get the image you want and then there’s no second chance.

Wonderful light, it almost looks like a painting. Great photo, CG!
Thank you Angeline!
Beautifully done CG 🙂 I like the light reflection on the kid’s forehead. Really, really nice 🙂
Thanks Paula. I like the light in this photo too (and the colours).
Don’t forget the focus 🙂 The focus is just right 😀
Love it.

A telling image!
Takk Otto. Ja, det er faktisk ganske representativt for alle verdens barn dette bildet.
Nice, tender shot, Cardinal! Love the light and colour you’ve captured.

Hey, congratulations! It looks great in context and totally deserved to be a winner.
Nice. Typical kid.., sleeping through the scenic parts. 😉
Yes, typical kids. Must be nice to have a shoulder to sleep on like that.
I hope everything is fine with you and your family. How old is your son now? Mine is a bit younger than yours and just turned 4 months.
Oh, congrats! I loved the 3-4 mos stage. I remember his first smile, laugh, and sleeping through the night! 🙂
Mine is now 10 mos.
Sleeping through the night! I love that kind of luxury! 😀
10 months, I guess he’s crawling all over the place? You can’t just put him down somewhere and then do the things that needs to be done. We can do that now: if there’s dishes or anything, we can put him on the mat on the floor and he will roll around from side to side, but still he’ll stay in the general area where we put him. He’s not so mobile.
Yea, he’s all over the place… Crawling, pulling himself to standing and cruising. Just typing this is making me tired! 😉
I like the background in focus in the photo! I think that the colors of the clothes hanging around really add depth and character to the picture! 🙂
Thank you Jen, I appreciate your feedback (and for teaching me a few tricks about sushi).
Haha No problem! Hope things are going well over there!
A very vivid and touching photo.

Thank you Janet.
I love how candid and authentic street photography can be. I don’t know that one could get this kind of genuine emotion with posed photographs.
Street photography can be fantastic, but there’s always a bunch of uninteresting photos in between the great ones. Even when the results aren’t great, they’re still fun to capture and it’s interesting to observe the city through the lens.
a moment to captured.
Nice photo!
This is a very beautiful capture. Love the vibrancy of this image.
