Junction by Keith Goldstein

There is a junction of three streets near my home, Amsterdam Avenue, 162nd Street, and and St. Nicholas Avenue that I usually pass through on my photo walks. There are always interesting people and faces to photograph in this area. There is a subway stop and a small unnamed triangular park. This woman was hunched over her walker just outside of a bodega on one of the corners. I just liked the peaceful her face, contrary to the hustle all around her.

Not Reading Poetry by Leanne Lindsay

This day I dedicated to taking some street photographs and one of my favourite places to go to watch people is the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. I found an installation I was intrigued with and placed myself as inconspicuously as possible, in the corner, watching people and waiting for something interesting to happen. I waited patiently for a while - maybe 1/2 an hour but nothing was happening. While waiting, I decided on a different approach and, not wanting to take a boring photo, decided to take a photo where the art installation was in focus but the people walking past were blurred. I set up my camera to take the shot I envisioned. I noticed this couple walking around, not really paying attention to the art and decided that if they walked past this artwork, I would take the photo. After some time, they walked past the art installation and as I had predicted, they didn't stop to contemplate the artwork, but walked straight past it. That's when I took the shot. It came out exactly as I had envisioned.
