Some selections are instant decisions. “Monks on Smartphones” makes the Day as much for the self-title as the excellent, suggestive composition. We don’t see the devices but know they are there. The choice of focal […]

Flickr a Day 136: ‘Ghosts’
Motion describes the street style of Nadine Heidrich. From Mölln, Germany, but living in Hamburg, she is a relative Flickr newcomer, joining in August 2013. What a contribution her black-and-white portfolio brings. Each photo is a […]
Flickr a Day 135: ‘Rust…’
Shooting objects takes talent, which Roni Amin demonstrates with self-titled “Rust…”, However, it is not my first choice from his photostream—just the one among those released under Creative Commons license. He shot today’s selection on […]
Flickr a Day 134: ‘Bison Scratching’
Now there’s something you don’t see everyday, eh? UK-native Adam Singer captured delightful self-titled “Bison Sctatching” on April 26, 2015, while traipsing across the U.S. northwest, using the Nikon D600 and 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. Vitals: f/5.6, ISO 220, […]
Flickr a Day 133: ‘Jenna Bean’
The best nature photography causes you to say something spontaneous. Maybe it’s just “wow”, but something. “Spectacular” is my reaction to the photostream of Bryce Bradford. There are so many great pics to pick from, any could […]
Flickr a Day 132: ‘Grandchildren’
Truck driver Richard Clark surely gets around. I don’t know how much drama he encounters on the road, but there is plenty in his photography. He is from the Adobe Photoshop school of imagery. Some […]
Flickr a Day 131: ‘Don’t be Judgemental’
I chose today’s selection mainly for what it isn’t. Color. Absence makes the street portrait more curious; provocative. You lean forward into the screen to better see the detail, then click to look larger. My preference would be different composition, but the subject’s expression, particularly his eyes, evokes something—sadness perhaps—that is moving.
Tobi Gaulke used Leica Camera AG M Monochrom and Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens to shoot self-titled “Don’t be Judgemental” on March 5, 2015. Vitals: f/1.4, ISO 800, 1/30 sec. This is the third photo featuring the Monochrom (see Days 87 and 120).
Flickr a Day 130: ‘Mother to Be’
In answer to every child’s question—”Where do babies come from?”—today’s selection is answer. Happy Mother’s Day! If not a mom, you have one. Give her a hug, or phone call. If she is gone from […]
Flickr a Day 129: ‘Fire!’
The best street photography, and also photojournalism, is about opportunity and seizing the moment. That’s what Ville Miettinen did on Oct. 13, 2007. “Some thick rubber mats caught fire in the building next door to my […]
Flickr a Day 128: ‘Sleepy Raccoon’
Italian Riccardo Palazzani is a Star Trek fan, not that you would ever guess from his personal website. His photostream is more down to earth, and today’s selection is typical. He prefers nature to people, […]
Flickr a Day 127: ‘Takeaway’
We conclude an unexpected trio of candid kids-on-the-street shots (see Days 125 and 126) with the delightfully composed self-titled “Takeway”. Gerry Balding captured the young ladies on Oct. 5, 2013, using the Fujifilm X10. The […]
Flickr a Day 126: ‘Don’t Move’
Continuing for a second straight day our kids-on-the-street theme, Julien Grosjean presents self-titled “Don’t Move”, captured on Oct. 24, 2014, using Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 R lens. Oh what a prime it is! Vitals: […]
