Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
I see street photography as a privilege. The right to photograph anyone and anything in and from a public place for the purpose of art and documentary is not universal around the world. Rights can be taken away at any time, especially when abused.
I shoot courteously and always respect my subjects right to refuse to be photographed. I have always deleted shots when asked to do so.
On Thursday in Glasgow I was harassed by another street photographer. I don't have to justify why I turned my back to them as they tried to photograph me and I am not a hypocrite for doing so despite their protestations that I 'had a nerve'.
However, if someone indicates or tells you that they do not want to be photographed, if you continue to photograph them over and over again what you are doing can be classified as harassment, a criminal matter. Don't be a jerk and don't bully people.
I reacted out of a place of trauma and I am not proud of that but, as you all know, harassment formed a major part of causing my trauma in the first place. The point is that we, as street photographers, have a responsibility to treat people respectfully. This is deeply important if we want our 'rights' to continue in a world becoming increasingly wary of photographers and 'surveillance'.
This is why I take one shot and move on.
You don't follow people, chase them, take multiple shots or feel affronted if they refuse to be photographed.
Take care my Flickr friends. Take photos. Be kind to one another and I wish you a wonderful week in this crazy world.
In the animal world this would be the expression you got when you were told there was No More Christmas Pudding!!

Amsterdam - Spaarndammerplantsoen.
"Spaarndam 2" is a social housing complex built in the Amsterdam School style of architecture and designed in 1918 by architect Michel de Klerk. With this sculptural block, De Klerk has made a major contribution to the street scene. Particularly beautiful are the trapezoidal windows, the sculptures above the porches reminiscent of mushrooms and starfish, the imaginative wooden attic windows and the very special organic windows of the former shop corner.
Restoration was completed this spring.
Spaarndam 2 is één van de drie monumentale volkswoningbouwcomplexen in het Spaarndammerplantsoen in Amsterdam. Het werd in 1918 door Michel de Klerk ontworpen voor woningbouwvereniging Eigen Haard. Het gebouw is gebouwd in de stijl van de architectuurstroming ‘Amsterdamse School’.
De bouwstijl ‘Amsterdamse school’ (sinds 1916) wordt getypeerd door het gebruik van expressieve en fantastische vormen, verwant aan het expressionisme. Kenmerkend is het gebruik van veel baksteen en de versieringen in de gevels.
Het complex, met 48 woningen, is onlangs gerenoveerd en gerestaureerd.
Happy Wall Wednesday!
I heard from a few friends recently about their new year’s resolutions. Quite frankly, I never believed in that. Why does one has to wait for a specific date to make a resolution? For me, the end of a year has always been a time to reflect about the year that passed and draw conclusions. I once wrote on a contact’s stream that ‘if the pandemic has taught us anything is to be kinder to each other’. Saying it was perhaps too naïve. Instead, I should have written that if the pandemic has taught us anything is how we endure and react during challenging times. It is during such times that show more than anything else, who we really are.
So, let’s raise a glass to 2022, a year to create more memories, have more trips, and discover new places. I’ll drink to that!
