Photos from in and around Sheffield, UK (and some trips further afield). Old enough to have done black and white developing from 35mm film. Back to photography after 25 - 30 years away. Having fun and learning. Lots of photos of parks, trees, cemeteries, canals, and the streets and people of Sheffield. And of course, lots of cats and dogs.

 

I have found a passion for street photography. I am trying to take photos and tell stories about what it means to be human but also our culture, habits and ways of living. The street photos are not posed and mostly candid. I aim to create a photojournalism of everyday life. .

 

New to flickr but I enjoy seeing other people's photographs and really appreciate other people's comments on mine, although please be respectful of the subjects. Disrespectful comments will be deleted. I don't sell photos for profit and if anyone sees themselves in a photo and is unhappy about it, let me know and I will remove it. My intentions are always kind and empathetic with the subject, never malicious.

 

Thank you so much for looking, and for all the likes and comments.

Maria, your photography is brilliant. Your street scenes capture the joy in a simple moment of a life. Your animal photos so beautifully capture their innocence. I could (and do!) look through your portfolio everyday! Thank you for sharing your talent here.

I always enjoy your images Maria. They tell stories of life. Part of me wants to grab a small camera lens and give it a go. The other part of me likes a full set of teeth….

Some great street scenes Maria. I used to do lots of street photography but after being told off by the police twice had to give it up.

Hello, I too am old enough to have done black and white developing from 35mm (and 6*6). Our pics are quite different but I like very much the shots you are doing. Thanks for sharing your images.
