I guess you could say this was me at my most self-indulgent. I feel like the people that most like street photography are its practitioners. There’s no lasting connection with the individuals that are photographed. It’s just moments, instant reactions, nothing more, but nothing less. Still, since I do this for myself, and I like them, I’ll still make these photos when I can. There’s an isolation that people feel in crowds like the sidewalk; in that isolation their faces are an unselfconscious, unaffected expression of what they’re thinking. So there is something to these photos, if only to show (shout) the depths of one moment, in one time and in one place; so much going on at once.

This is the second set, and I won’t add to my other ramblings except to say man this was a really fun trip.

There are a bunch of street photos still to edit, and a nice post about silly tourists, but these needed to go somewhere and the mental energy required to edit 25 photos down to 10 was not a thing I had, so here are these, which were much easier to bring to press. Have a nice day.

The title of this post is a lie; I just didn’t know what to call it; they’re not pictures of people, but I hate the word cityscapes. It is buildings, and a couple courtyards, and roses growing in an ancient Roman graveyard. A picture of a nice cloud thrown in, because I’m still me. Yeah, got another half dozen or so posts left in this vein, and then the vacation slideshow will be over, and the regular life slideshow will recommence.

It would be possible to go to Barcelona and spend all of your time there just looking at all the different churches. There’s probably a degree in medieval architecture to be had for a thesis on them. I took a few pictures.
