Thanks for being the first to post for this month's theme. I love the feel of this photo. For me, the yin/yang balance of the two dogs adds a lot soul to the photo.

Hello Ilan, Happy to visit you again - I am a bit late for this comment and maybe an answer to your question ;)
I saw the image and your comment... I like the thinking you make around your photography.
You are right with your diadnostic, it could be taken anywhere...
I could say, normal, this is globalization. It's not the point here.
I think Street (and all "documentary" subjects) are question of people (and places). We need to understand in depth both of them. We need to "approach" these people and places, socially and humanly, I mean. Once you are familiar with the environment, we need then some thinking to delimit the interesting part, the scope of the project. Then we can start capturing...
One master was saying that photography is before all a human adventure. You cannot achieve all this during one week in Barcelona.

I really like this shot. it looks like a not very safe place...

I completely understand your feeling about your pictures and I think it's the best thing for a photographer to put yourself in question. that's how you can improve. but also, don't forget, a photographer (or any other type of artist), will never be 100% happy of his/her work. I don't know which author told this but I've read somewhere that artists has to learn to be frustrated all their lives... and it's so true.
anyway, it's nice to read your feelings about your work, very interesting. and don't be too hard on yourself, maybe some of your shots could have been taken anywhere else from Barcelona, but you can feel your vision as a foreigner. that's what I like about them.

I agree with the first womans post, regarding the people. To me it is the people that makes the city, sets the feel. You can capture lots of things but it is really the mood and often motion of a place/city that interest me most.

I think you are good in capture the people in the city.

2009-05-25T17:36:11.203+03:00

Hi Ilan,

Good shot! Not having captured the essence of the city is probably not your fault, since European cities (and maybe not only European cities) look more and more like any other city: same shops, same restaurants, same cafés.

Besides, capturing the essence of a city in a single shot is probably impossible — for anyone.

What I'm wondering, though, is whether these guys realized you were shooting and how they reacted. Or did you ask them before you took the photograph?

Beautiful street shot.

2009-05-25T02:28:02.605+03:00

Maybe what your Gift to us is creating one big city scene that is the world, period, no matter where it is, Ilan. Just do what you do, in other words, and don't worry if it looks like Barcelona or not!

The dog's face... is excellent!
