Our last morning here at Encounter Bay in South Australia and we took the dog for a beach walk before heading home. Was kicking myself that I didnt bring the DSLR as the cloudless sky and the flat calm sea provided a rare calmness. So I snapped a few with the iPhone - this one of the Bluff at the end of the bay came out much better than I expected.

Dans la rue, chaque rencontre est une histoire en suspens …
Cette jeune femme et son enfant, le sourire franc et l’espoir discret, rappellent que la street photo n’est pas qu’une chasse à l’instant décisif et c’est aussi une affaire de respect et de bienveillance !
Un regard, un sourire, parfois une simple pièce…
Ces gestes instaurent une complicité sincère, une reconnaissance mutuelle ...
Être photographe de rue, c’est apprendre à équilibrer curiosité et considération, à saisir l’émotion sans oublier l’humain 🤔
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
On the street, every encounter is a story in the making…
This young woman and her child, their smiles bright and hopeful, remind us that street photography isn’t just about capturing the decisive moment and it’s also about respect and kindness.
A look, a smile, sometimes a small coin…
Yhese gestures create a genuine bond, a quiet understanding...
To be a street photographer is to balance curiosity with empathy, to catch emotion without losing sight of the human being behind it 🤔

... of the best kind! As a diver, a shark encounter is among the most exciting and thrilling. Their seemingly effortless glide through the water is mesmerizing. But most surprising may be their curiosity. Their eyes are expressionless, suggesting that they are mere machines. Nevertheless, they certainly conveyed a sense in their close passes that they were wondering what we were doing in their domain. We weren't stirring up fish for them to eat and they lingered well past the point of realizing that we were not food. (Nor were we chumming.) So maybe we were just a distraction from their mundane activities. Don't we all need that!
This is a caribbean reef shark (Carcharhinus perezi), estimated to be about 1.5m, so probably a young one. (Mature ones are 2-2.5m.) They are listed as near-threatened by IUCN. Why anyone would intentionally harvest sharks from the ocean is beyond me.
The earlier image I posted from the dive provided a better sense of the reef terrain. This shot, looking slightly up, includes the wave patterns from the surface (we are in about 8m of water).

I have a story to tell you – it is about a fish and an ocean.
There was a Fish in the Ocean
Said the Fish to the Ocean:
'You can’t see my tears because I’m in the water.'
The Ocean replied to the fish:
'I feel your tears because you’re in my heart.'
I am neither a Fish nor the Ocean, yet I feel your pain when you cry.

Foster City is a city made on landfill in the San Francisco Bay Area. After dinner I went there for night shots. A person in bright clothing walked by in this long exposure, creating a ghostly encounter.
I processed a balanced, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

After the rain and walking through the Chilterns (Hertfordshire). This horse saw me coming, looked at me as if wanting me to talk to it - which I did for some time. I was also allowed to take this photo. After that, the horse went somewhere else. Did it lose interest? Was the conversation not good enough? No sugar, not even a carrot? Anyway, for a very long moment we were eye to eye. Fuji X100F.

A very subtle alternate shot from a brief but memorable 'stranger portrait' session on the streets of Glasgow, Scotland.
My favourite black and white portrait and one of my favourite street photography memories - here's why:
I captured this shot as part of my '100 Strangers' project here on Flickr in November 2017. My encounter with Ian first stemmed from a candid shot that I took of him in the city. He was flattered by me choosing to photograph him on the street and this lead to a conversation where I offered some portrait shots for him as a part of that project. I quickly selected a sandstone alcove that was bathed in the last remnants of sunlight in the built-up street.
Ian was a genuine pleasure to talk with and photograph and he was thrilled with the resulting images that I emailed to him.
Ian, an actor, was interviewing for a role in Outlander at the time having recently played the role of a Monk in a movie about Robert the Bruce starring Chris Pine. I was out on a street photography shoot a few months later and Ian and his wife ran across the busy road to greet me. Ian thanked me profusely for the portrait and told me that it was the black and white portrait, which he had shared with his agent, that had been a factor in him getting a role in the hit series Outlander. Both Ian and his wife hugged me and thanked me some more. I have since bumped into Ian in the city again and although we haven't really been in touch, chatted with each other as if friends.
This was a street photography encounter that will stay with me forever and it is a privilege that I was able to give something special to a random encounter on the street.
Stay safe everyone. I'll look forward to making more street photography memories if or when this pandemic ever winds down.
Very simple shot, anyhow I guess it can partially suggest the idea of mutual sense of stupor, that is reiterated every single time an encounter takes place between a human animal and a mountain animal.
