Thought I’d try and channel the 60’s and do some old school street style carnival photography in black and white. I slowed the shutter speed on my Nikon Z8 and adapted my Sony 24 F1.4 GM lens. #photography #streetphotography #blackandwhite #carnival

A Belted Kingfisher races upriver high above the Salt at Coon Bluff. High and away with a clear blue sky so no context… but at least I saw it! Talk about a bluesky🤪😂📸. #birds

A street vendor was saying kind words for late President Jimmy Carter. I related that when I first voted, I called my mom and said I was voting for McGovern. She yelled "if you vote for McGovern, the country will go to hell"! The moral of the story, don't argue with your mother!😂 #streetphotography

I went for a street photography walkabout today in downtown Phoenix. New construction is rising everywhere! One poignant image was of this elderly man I spoke with as he contrasted with the new construction behind him.
