This is a monologue episode as I have quite a few announcements this week... I also answer a listener question about anxiety on the streets.

Call For Entry

I am excited to be the juror for a new Call For Entry with the Minneapolis Photo Center. To enter, please visit the Mpls Photo Center website 

Theme:

The Eyes of A Stranger - Street Portraits

Making a good portrait of a complete stranger is a challenge that all serious photographers must eventually face. It is an acquired skill. 

It's one thing to take a picture of a pedestrian or stranger on the sly, and quite another to actually make a portrait of them. 

We can choose to engage them or not, but each encounter should result in a positive experience for the subject and the photographer. 

The desired end result is a strong photograph that does reveal the brief connection that we shared.

The eyes don't lie. Nor does the camera.
