I really enjoyed each picture for different reasons! In your first two pictures the art is really striking to me. Such vivid warm hues that draw you into the picture itself. I also liked the white brick as a backdrop behind the second painting. I just realized that the coffee shop pic with your husband also has art in the background. I like how contemporary the setting feels. It reminds me of a coffee shop right by the university back home. The bus driver looks so professional and it was a nice photo that you were able to take. Plasma girl looked really sweet and the shadow play was fun because I wasn’t sure what I was looking at at first.
On another note, I started reading “A Mind of Your Own” by Dr. Brogan. Thank you for recommending me to her. It makes me thankful that I never ended up going on meds. I am looking forward to reading and learning more.
Hi – I really enjoyed your comment – and did not even plan on having the art sync like that in the first three pics – but it kind of does.
and photo #3 is my favorite coffee shop in the area – I like to go there when my mother visits – and the staff is so nice.
__
also – so glad you are enjoying “A Mind of Your own” book by Dr. Kelly Brogan – I am still only 25% through the book – I keep skimming it and think I need to sit down and just read it all.
but it is nice to read a little and then just chew on it – anyhow, I look forward to comparing thoughts when we both finish the book – I am shocked at how much I agree with (and learn from) Dr, Brogan 🙂
I really enjoy the variety in your blog post, content, themes, and pictures. Every post always has a nice surprise 🙂
I am enjoying Dr. Brogan’s book a lot. I also read little by little to let it sink in. Right now I just read about a chapter a day sometimes less before bed. Thanks for pointing me in a really great direction. I enjoy reading, but again there is so much information that it can be hard to discern dependable sources that our worth our time.
what is a “shat”?
and here is the scoop = the hubs and I were sitting on a bench – I took a few photos and things were real quiet until the bus pulled up – and then the actors all walked across our path ((I will share those photos later))
and so the bus driver was out of the bus when I started chatting with him – he got on the bus – and I walked over to get a photo of the bus door (maybe for a Thursday doors post) and he invited me to come on for a sec
is that a shat?
Hi Yvette, It is always nice to be around people that are pleasant and professional such as your bus driver. I don’t believe age is a determining factor in this. I like how you organized the photos with Plasma Gal. Almost looks like a still shot plus action shots. A successful day:)
I actually liked all of these street photos. Everyone one of them so candid and a depiction of our everyday lives. Did you know the people eating in photo (2)? I noticed your blurred out faces – completely understand how some people don’t want their faces plastered over the internet, and you’re very considerate.
Very kind of you to give someone a ride. Yes, you go to be careful about these things but sometimes you just feel it will be all okay.
Hi Mabel – no, I did not know the ladies dining – and the older ladies blur – thank for noticing – and I just felt led to do that – not sure why – maybe because I feel like out on the street is more fair game but grabbing that inside photo while they were dinging was more private – and I did not even mean to photo them – I was truly going for the art and later saw they made it in…
and whew – truly have to be careful with letting strangers in the car –
thanks for your comment
Surprised you got so close and the ladies did not notice you, lol. Looks like you are a stealthy photographer, Y. Alongside the art I also was trying to make out what they were eating. Looking forward to seeing more of your street shots.
Great street pictures you have.. You have courage to get pictures of these people. Many times, I would like to get pictures of people you came to see them while you go about but I do not have enough courage to do so. Great!
thanks YC – and I guess I do have the courage for this – although sometimes I am not in the mood – so I have come to appreciate it when I am in the mood to take such street shots – and I guess we all have different strengths or moods – eh?
I like them all, but number one and two is fabulous. I sometimes crave doing street shots…but then I feel so bad because the shots I really want to take are often controversial. Here in Las Vegas there’s plenty of spectacular beings to photograph..LOL. Do I need to ask for permission? Or should I not? I always question myself about that. I known depends on the shot. Maybe its just me personally disliking being in photograh’s so much, that I hesitate capturing strangers? I enjoyed this post very much.
Thanks so much
😉
And I continue to wrestle with “street photography” and my own approach –
And recently deleted some o felt uncomfortable with – but I have grown into being comfortable with it because I feel like it can celebrate humanity – I follow numerous bloggers that feature street photography and to be it is a celebration of humans and also culture rich as we see changing clothes – hairstyles – body art – moods – etc.

And I bet you see some amazing potential for street shots but I wonder if there are special rules for the Las Vegas area because what happens there is supposed to stay there (half kidding)
