A local merchant at the outdoor Sunday market outside of Mercat Central looks desperately for something to read on his phone while in front of him sit stacks of books.

One of the “housing challenged” people in the Il Pilar neighborhood collecting metal scraps in her cart. There are several people in the area that I see making their way to the various refuse containers we have on the streets here but this is the first time I have seen her. I hope she has made some good finds that will be useful to her.

Captured during a recent morning walk in the El Carmen neighborhood here in Valencia. Often one will find wet streets like this even though there has been no rain. The reason for this is the street cleaners will come through, spraying their mixture of cleaning chemicals onto the tiles and bricks making up the pathways through the city leaving behind a reflective surface on which everyone walks, drives, and rides.

The 2023 Techno Parade in Paris is definitely the place to find people having a great time. Even if you don’t know what is going on or why, it’s a crazy awesome, roving street party. The wonderful thing for the street photographer is that everyone is happy to have their photos taken. No need to be sneaky or subtle, just raise your camera to your eye and this is the sort of thing that happens!
