Week 16 already?? This year is flying by! I'm rejoining the ClickinMom's Blog Circle this week, so be sure to follow the link at the bottom!
Ahhh, street photography. I have a love hate relationship with you. I always find myself drawn to the genre, and yet I am so incredibly shy and self-conscious taking my camera out in public. Add in the idea of photographing strangers and I'm pretty well paralyzed by fear. I gave it my best try though. I think I'm going to make a point of attempting some form of street photography at least once a month. The only way I'm going to get past my mental roadblock is to just keep pushing. Here's a few shots I managed to grab this week. The first one was my submission for the project 52 since I felt it captured the genre better than some of the others, even though I liked a few of the others more.

Besides getting a chance to walk around and capture some images of my city on a nice Spring day, I also got to share it with my son. He's been taking more of an interest in photography lately. He has inherited my old D50 DSLR and a zoom lens. Everywhere we went that day, we were consistently met with positive comments about how cool it was that he was out taking pictures with me. Here's a shot of my budding little photographer finding something interesting in one of the alleys downtown.
