2013 Goals - Street Photography

One of my photography goals for 2013 was to shoot some street photography.  I wanted to start simply by just venturing out to the farmer's market.  It was outside my comfort zone.  VERY far outside.  I have a hard time taking photos of strangers without thinking that they're thinking I'm some sort of creepy weirdo.  I tried to be as inconspicuous as possible, but I dont' know if I was successful.  I also had Audrey with me, which made it a little trickier since I couldn't just sit and people watch and wait for inspiration to hit me.  But I got a couple decent shots I think.

My goal was to try it.  And I did.  I would love to try again.  One can't get any better if one doesn't go do it.

Here are a couple of my favorites shots from the morning.

I heart faces - black and white monthly challenge

For their first monthly contest, iheartfaces.com's challenge is black and white.

This is the first B&W photo I've done with Lightroom.  It was fun and a challenge to get the contrast I wanted and could see in my head.

I love this photo. The way her hand is on her cheek. The light from the tablet shining on her face.  The way she looks more like a big kid than a not-yet 3 y/o.
