This gentleman is a fixture here in Valencia often found near the Colon metro station. When I shot this back in 2021 during our initial visit to Valencia I had no idea that we would see him often after we moved here. His playing may not be “the best” but he has tons of character 🙂

Caught You Lookin’

Just another day out shopping for some people in Valencia. I’m not sure if this pair in the lower right corner are waiting for someone inside the shop or if they’re just waiting. I liked the look of the scene with the two mannequins “standing” behind them and just as I clicked the shutter, one of them looked right into the camera as if to say “I see you there”.

Figures in a Window – Barcelona

Barcelona Street 071223 019 1

This shot should look familiar as it’s the photo one sees when you land here at this site. I really have fallen in love with this shot for reasons which I fell are obvious :). This is one of the few times I have shot an image of a shop window and found the subjects taking their own photos (and making paintings!). It was about 11:00 pm as we were walking around the streets and this shop, while closed, had its window illuminated, highlighting the figures inside.

Shot with a Sony A7rIII and the Sony 35mm 1.8 lens.
