Amy is still beavering away at her Streets of your town project and website of the same name, capturing shots as she goes about her business. She is doing really well at it and I am pleased to encourage her with this hobby. She not only gets to meet new people and she also is learning how to see the world through a photographers eye. Here are here latest pictures. See them also and more at Streets of your town online.

Amy's stuff for the streets of your town site
She has been at it again !!!
Amy has been out and about, snapping away at people and places and doing a brilliant job at it. I especially like the man with his two dogs in a shop and another picture with a large young man playing with his mobile phone outside a shop door. She is brave because she goes up to people and just asks them if she can take their picture. Sometimes they say no, but most times they agree and she gives them a business card with the web site address on it. So thank you Amy.
If you want to see more of her work please visit the Streets of your town web site. x
(Mostly) Amy's stuff for the streets of your town site
She wants my job !!!!
Every time she goes out she sneaks out the camera and indulges in a spot of street photography and she is very good at it. I did photograph the ladies working in the burger van outside the plastics factory, but Amy did everything else. One of my favourites as a simple, but effective image of a man's shadow on the pebbled floor. Great work Amy. See more at the Streets of your town web site. x.

Stuff for the streets of your town site 1 (derelict shops)
On the same day as my father took us out into the countryside for some scenic shots, we stopped then at the rear of some shops in the town. My Dad had previously pointed them out as an eye sore, but I thought of them more as an opportunity for photos as you do not often get to go near enough dilapidated buildings. This site was not fenced off, rather open to the public. We did not venture too far in as it is better safe than sorry when it caves in on you. I do think we got some half way decent shots both Amy and I. My favourites are of the graffiti wall with wisps of cloud above it in the blue sky. I hope you like them.
Stuff for the streets of your town site 2 (the voyage home)
On our journey home we travelled up the A14 to join the M1 motorway in what was bloody awful weather to drive in. It was a heavily overcast day, dank and horrible, but great to do some moody shots in/ Like the derelict house, these have been put on the Streets of your town website. The aim was to emulate the American photographer Saul Leiter style of image. Lots of dark moody looks with plenty of rain and car rear tail lights he did so well/ I am not saying my work compares anywhere near to his, but it was a fun try and I would like to do it again some day.
