@streetsoul.bsky.social "Street photos of people just walking by billboards are boring." — Eric Kim.
Hard truth or just one man's opinion? I'm curious to hear what the photographers on Bluesky think about this common trope. 🌤️

True street photography doesn't provide answers; it invites the viewer to wonder what lies beyond the frame. It's fascinating to see how the intersection of automotive obsession and the primal urge to mark one's territory carves out such unique, accidental rhythms in our urban landscape.

A lingering soul of steel in the heart of Kyustendil. More than just a machine, it’s a testament to the art of care—where engineering meets a lifetime of devotion. Some things are not just owned; they are cherished.

The bond between owners and their cars is truly universal. 🚗✨ This classic beauty is being cherished with love, ensuring it stays on the road for years to come. Some things only get better with time.

Even in street photography, a high vantage point has its advantages. Captured here from the train traveling from Sofia to Kyustendil. 🚂📸

Just three people, a quick chat, and something on a screen. 📱✨ Love the simplicity of street moments like this.

One of my photographic compasses is the work of Peter Martens (www.petermartens.nl). In homage to his legacy and powerful visual storytelling, I’m sharing this photo.

A single shadow can tell an entire story. In black and white photography, the absence of light speaks just as loudly as the presence of it. It’s all about the drama, the contrast, and the mystery in between. 🌑✨

Street photography is often about the art of framing. 🖼️ Windows don’t just capture light; they create natural frames within the city, turning everyday moments into living portraits.

I’ve noticed that parents and children don’t just share looks—they mirror each other. Their posture, expressions, and even the way their hands move are often identical, sometimes forming a perfect mirror image.

Some photos don't provide answers; they only breathe questions. Found on a sidewalk in Arles. A sudden departure? A silent miracle? The street keeps its secrets.

Trusting the process over the initial gaze.
Pretty happy with the outcome!

As a photographer with a heart for dogs, I simply can't resist capturing them. Captured during a trip to Arles last autumn; I continue to be inspired by the interplay of light and deep shadows in the streets of Southern France.

Street photography is all about the art of observation. There’s something so rewarding about learning to read the rhythm of the city and anticipating. #StreetPhotography #VisualStorytelling#Blackandwhite#Tiranna#TheBalkans#Albania

Kolkata feels Kafkaesque; daily life slips easily into the surreal. These images I took in 2001 Howrah Station examine the tension between the station’s rigid systems and the people living on its platforms. An observation of a community that remains unseen, where a transit hub becomes a home.

Kolkata feels Kafkaesque

I spent a month at Howrah Station in 2001, returning to the same platform every day. Amidst the endless flow of travelers, I found a community living in the margins—not by choice, but by necessity.
