Three Observers

See the three observers? All of them are silent in this quiet moment in an alley of Genoa’s Centro Storico. But one of them has never talked at all.

What caught my eye was the juxtaposition of the three figures: one standing high above the street on his pedestal, another leaning against a storefront, and the third sitting on the steps farther down the alley. Three observers at three different levels, leading the eye into the frame from giant to dwarf.

Being constantly on the lookout for little scenes like this is part of what makes street photography so much fun for me. You just never know what you’ll find when roaming the streets with a camera in hand.

Faces of the Street

Monochrome Street Photography in Via XX Septembre Genova
1/500sec | f/2.8 | ISO 1250 | 24mm

Yesterday, The Significant Other and I visited the fantastic exhibition of dutch painter Anton van Dyck in Genoa’s Palazzo Ducale. After, we went for some errands in Via XX Settembre. And while the wife went into a clothing store, I stood under the arcades of La Superba’s principal shopping mile, snapping away at the passing faces of the street. I used my Fuji X-T50 and the Fujinon Super EBC XC 1:2.8-4.8/16-50mm R LM WR. And what can I say, the tiny camera/lens combo basically went unnoticed by the passing people.
