I was looking through my photo archives for one of a series of photos I took a few years ago when I was documenting the “Occupy” movement with my big girl DSLR and I came across the following photos that I decided to share in this blog post.
My studies at the Academy of Art for my M.F.A were in Documentary photography and I still love taking photos of people whenever I get the chance to wander the streets. I do a ton of that street photography with my iPhone although until recently I haven’t shared much of that work since I have been so focused on creating and exhibiting my montage work over the past year. But perusing through my archives this afternoon has rekindled my desire to delve a bit further into my street and documentary photography with my iPhone. All my serious pro work has been captured with a DSLR but I think I am ready to take the leap as soon as my iPhone 5 arrives (yes, I get the upgrade this month finally!).
I was also extremely inspired by hearing Richard Koci Hernandez present at MacWorld. A photojournalist by trade, Koci now shoots his street photography exclusively with his iPhone. And God knows we need more women representin’ in the world of street photography.

Wonderful photography as always. Still waiting for the angels to reappear.

I enjoyed this street pictures this morning. I love people in all their infinite incarnations. These are a lovely juicy selection.
