Toscana Variations 2

the people phase

in Photography , Friday, May 22, 2015

Just a few stolen shots wandering around the streets of Siena and Asciano. I’m surely no Cartier-Bresson. Although maybe if I convert to black & white, add a black frame, and start banging on about the gorgeously poetic lusciousness of Fuji cameras then maybe I’d get closer. But that sounds like far too much hard work.

Very nice set, David. You do have a way of seeing, something not "in your face", quiet observations of life as it goes, viewed into interesting compositions and lights.
PS: I like that you did not crop out the head of the pigeon…

Thanks! I couldn't crop the pigeon with destroying the pattern... and it didn't even occur to me to clone it out 😊
