Halloween Hunting

Halloween Hunting
Halloween Hunting | Genoa | 2022

Tonight is “All Hallow’s Eve”, the eve before the religious feast All Saints (aka All Hallow’s Day), remembering the dead, saints and martyrs of christianity. Obviously that calls for an appropriate street photograph, albeit one from the archives (but previously unpublished on this blog). I captured this shot I dubbed Halloween Hunting two years ago during a Halloween event in Genoas medieval city center.

Also this year, there is another Halloween Ghost Tour on the Streets of Genoa. The Significant Other and I still need to decide whether to go. Having spent last night on the road traveling down to our Home (South), and after putting in a full day for the work that pays the bills, there might not be enough energy left to go Halloween Hunting tonight 😉

Taken with my Leica SL2-S and the TTArtisan 50mm .95 prime M-Mount lens. Image specs are 1/250 sec | f/2.8 | ISO 6400 | 50mm.

Raw processing and monochrome conversion in Lightroom Classic.

Collision Course

Street Photography is not necessarily about capturing human beings on the stage of life. It is also about seeing those little things that happen out in the streets, the little stories that make us smile about life happening in front of our lens. When I saw this 90 degrees bent bollard behind that car parked in Quimper, France, I had to laugh, I thought this was hilarious. I have captured that snapshot dubbed Collision Course with my iPhone.

So take your camera (or smartphone), hit your local streets and look for this little funny scenes that also tell the stories of the streets.

Nightly Encounter

Nightly Encounter | Vannes | 2024

As avid street photographer, I’m always looking for those stories of the street happening in front of my lens. Like during this nightly encounter in the streets of Vannes in Brittany, France. Look at the image and let it tell you a story of everyday live. Maybe a bit of an unusual story, happening at 11pm in the evening.

Taken with thy Olympus OM-D E-M1X and the mZuiko 12-100mm F/4 Pro Zoom.

If you feel like picking up your camera to go out and capture the stories of the streets yourself, check out the tips and inspirations around street photography in my free Learning Center.

Wish you a great Monday!
