Speed
Depending on your perspective, a sport, an art-form or the scourge of the streets (particularly at 1am, when the boards make an incredibly loud sound that seems to resonate between the buildings). Joaquin Costa, Barcelona.
Commuters
School run with bicycle and greyhound. Carrer Ferlandina, Barcelona.
20 Minutes
Early morning workers waiting for a delivery, La Rambla, Barcelona.
Crisis?
Posters for the anarcho-syndicalist CNT alongside a shopper, Barcelona. Spain still retains an odd tension between a strong grass-roots socialist perspective and increasingly right-wing parties, such as the current PP – a direct descendent of Franco’s fascist regime.
Balance
Carrer de la Riera Alta, Barcelona.
Space Hair
So who was she? The lady with the funny name and the space hair. An old friend of mine. What, like an ex?
35mm Equivalence and Street Photography
I have uploaded a short technical article on 35mm equivalence for APSC, micro-4/3 and compact cameras.

School Days
Reluctant morning commuters, Carrer de la Canuda, Barcelona.
Italy
A small set of images taken in Milan and Lecco from a few days spent in Italy. All were taken with the Ricoh GR using manual focus. I think that these have a very different feel to the street photographs from Barcelona – although I am not certain if this is due to the subjects or the photographer…
Dreaming
Ciutat Vella, Barcelona.
Balanced
Plaça dels Angels, Barcelona.
Waiting
Waiting to collect scrap metal, Carrer d’ en Xuclà, Barcelona.
Hello
Joaquín Costa, Barcelona.
Recycling
Carrer del Pintor Fortuny, Barcelona. This is quite a common sight – people hunting for scrap metal. This has become a problem for the city council, as the scrap value in part pays for the city-wide recycling system.
Speed
Skateboarder, Barcelona. Long exposure with fill-flash – a bit experimental, but with some practise it should be possible to get some interesting results. Shot with the Ricoh GR using built-in flash.
Concealed
Street sellers, Plaça Catalunya, Barcelona.
