Color Street Photography

[Hsg]

There is no question that color could be the subject of a photo essay, especially when it is in the area of fashion or architecture.

But as a single photo like the shoes on the street, it varies, I suppose. I sat on the train yesterday next to a woman with long bright blue hair, any photos of her in color would seem to point to her hair, even if aimed elsewhere.

I only shoot for color, which means color is my subject. Viewers might not agree but for me, who only shoots for color now, color is my subject -- unfortunately, because its damn hard to shoot for color on the streets.

In 6 years of consistent street photography I have less then 80 'keepers' and perhaps 30+ for a final selection. That sucks. After a few days I'll be running out of photos to post in this thread...

80 photos in 6 years is not bad, for such a very specific mindset.

I only show my best images, and whatever is on my flicker is my best so far.

Its in a way disappointing, I should have done better, but I'm not complaining.

Not bad at all. I only have about 500 pictures (that I like a bit) gathered in 45 years. No color, only B+W. We photographers are hunters.

Not sure the authenticity of the item but it was seen in a pile of metal decors for sales at Raleigh, NC Flea Market 5 years ago.

2007? So I guess you already must have seen this place then, I understand that it has become one of the landmarks of Taipei
