When I started out in photography the only examples I had to go with were home style family snapshots. As we had family snapshots my subjects turned out to be people on the street, people I did not know. As I was very young, most people likely thought “just some dumb little kid” so I got away with it. Not long into my career a man came to town taking pictures of people on the street. We met and he sort of took me under his wing. He guided me on how to turn snapshots of people on the street into “Street Photography”. The image needs to tell a story and illustrate a human trait.
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo
