I like to give me those little photographic self assignments, to keep my creative juices flowing. Like when I was enjoying a Pacific sunset at Oregon’s Cannon Beach the other day. When I was capturing beach emotions.
There is plenty of opportunity to shoot street photography on the beach. Also some of the genre’s greats did it regularly, like Elliott Erwitt. I was just sitting there in the sand, with my Olympus OM-D E-M1X and the mZuiko 12-100mm F/4 pro zoom. Trying to capture some beach emotions of the people around me.
Imagining what stories of life were happening around me, what those people were thinking.
Give yourself your own little photographic assignment, grab your camera and head out! Share the link to your results in the comments!

Have a great Thursday!

These are gorgeous Marcus. I especially liked the silhouetted couple showing joy and the boy looking at the rock – you even captured his glasses in the silhouette! Superb.

Great idea, Marcus. The boy really has me wondering what he is thinking or rather dreaming about…
Thanks, Daniela, love your comment! Marcus
Terrific photos, and advice. The last one is fascinating – that person has an unusual silhouette that really adds to the impact. Beautiful colors, too.

Lovely photos Marcus! This has me thinking about heading down to our Vegas Strip for some street photos.
Thanks, John, and I hope you did go to the strip. Haven’t had much time this week to look at other blogs, due to the wedding pictures 😉
I do that to make up stories about people who I’m just watching from afar, laura
