Faces of Exit 270 Part 17

I try my best to be invisible when I wander around the streets of Exit270.   Again I have been fortunate that most of the subjects before my camera don't mind being photographed.  I am not arrogant with those who see my camera pointed at them -which is hard not to notice since I am at times in their face.   

Usually I find my subjects are non complacent about being photographed.  I never argue with those who don't wish to be photographed.  Never approach your subject with an attitude –if asked explain what you are doing and then ask them to ignore you.

I always I walk around the area making quick observations of the movement of people within my zone.   I set the camera on aperture priority -center focus -if the subject I am tracking moves into shadows I punch up my ISO.  If you are working the street -you want to be able to change with the scene, because it changes fast.  Move quickly-take the shot and move on.

More faces Exit 270.  In this post I want to tell this story with a short photo essay -showing a sense of place and a feeling of what is happening.  It is a collection of memories packaged briefly within a series of images.  The following images are the Color Vibe happening in Tucson, Arizona.  Here I have tried to give you a feeling of the event in a series of images starting from the beginning to a final end photograph.  As a photographer this requires you to move and shoot quickly because the story is constantly changing and evolving.   

Faces of Exit 270 Part 10

Street photography I have always felt is about the people that occupy the environment around you.  It is these faces that make up the place I call Exit 270.   So, welcome to a new year of Exit 270.
