Photographers

Posted in Adventures, cameras, people, photography, UncategorizedTagged , ,

Something different this week, so you can have a rest from all the edumacational history normally turning up in your feed on a Sunday. I’ve been taking photographs since I was a teenager, though only really started learning about photography 10 years ago. I love seeing other people when they are engrossed in taking photographs, and if I see someone so engaged, will take a picture of them if I can do it sneakily! So here is my collection of some of the happy people making memories, and a few who do it for a living.

“It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.”
– Alfred Eisenstaedt

“Photography has no rules, it is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it is achieved.”

  2. What a delightful post, CJ. Your sneaky captures are great fun, and I love the quotes, which were all new to me. The James Wilson quote would be perfect on my blog! Out of curiosity, when were you at Mont Saint Michel? My mother and her friend visited in March 2019.

  3. Something really intimate about photographing the photographers… also like the quotes and that you included Matthew Brady who if I remember rightly was the American Civil War photographer?The equipment changes but the taking of pictures remains the same.

  4. Great idea, and well realised. I remember being at Canary Wharf taking photos, with two cameras and five lenses in a Billingham bag. I was lying on my back to get an wideangle ‘uppie’ of the main tower, and I spotted a Japanese-looking guy taking photos of me taking the shots. I smiled at him, he gave me a thumbs up, and walked away. It was a nice ‘moment’.
    Best wishes, Pete.

  13. Love these, especially the Times Square one – she looks like someone it would be fun to hang out with. My favourite, though, is the poppy field and all those people capturing their own special moment – and how did that car come to be parked behind the tree?

  16. Great quotes! I like the first and the last one best. Just now, I’m kind of following the last one, re-living our holiday of last autumn, and writing about it in my blog.

  24. Oh my gosh I LOVE the picture of all the photographers in the poppy field 🙂 So many busy artists at work all at once 🙂 It really is fun watching other people behind the camera, and I always enjoy looking at other people’s pictures, and seeing how each view through the lens is so unique and beautiful. What a great post, I really liked the quotes too!

  25. It felt like a project of Steve McCurry, you hunted the hunters 😎 I see fewer cameras and more cellphones, now that the latter are already spectacular. Is nice to see persons enjoying to take their time with no rush for social media : )
