So, you see, I could only do that with an iPhone.   A camera would be too much work to carry around and and furthermore, people would notice me photographing them if pointed a big camera at them – I like to sneak my shots without disturbing the people – sort of like doing wildlife photography without disturbing the wildlife.

Here are some recent shots  – Maybe with just a little PhotoShop help to record the Street Photography story I saw:

Started to get drizzly and cold.  I handed my iPhone to someone to shoot me doing this – Putting on the new wind-breaker jacket I got for Christmas from my daughter, Heather.

Started to get drizzle and cold AND foggy – easy weather to loose sight of ones Radio Controlled airplane, so only one experience pilot dared to go out. I photographed him doing just that – I am not an experienced pilot so I did not go out.   I am sure I would have lost my plane!.

Doing what most of us do not do on a daily basis – or at all – flying a powered hang glider and hiring a helicopter to fly along side us to photograph us doing the hang-gliding- So I photographed them doing that!

Rocket launches here on the Space Coast are getting so common we hardly even notice them any more then we do any plane flying overhead.  I was out on my bike one afternoon I heard a rumble in the east – then I remembered there was a launch – Could not see the people doing it but I photographed what they were doing – the contrail is natural but I had to help show the rocket with PhotoShop.

No people here but I wanted to record and present my suggestion for using space coast photographs to decorate the walls of a banquet room in our community restaurant – the Blue Heron Restaurant

Finally, I love this one – I got invited to have an outdoor luncheon in Boca Raton with Gloria and one of her artist friends – What is she doing – she is watching an uninvited fourth person (creature) at our luncheon!

As you swing thru life please tolerate my street photographs – I could only do them with my iPhone – & – hopefully enjoy some of them as much as I enjoy taking them and showing some of them to you.
