The subject for Tara’s Gallery this week is Street Photography.

Yay! Because this is something I do all the time — not only are people fascinating, and weird, to watch but I also like spotting the incongruous, amusing and interesting everyday things about me. No stories this week, just a selection of pictures I’ve gathered over the last few years. You’ll find many more on my Flickr photostream.

First of all a few people photographed on London railway stations:

Morning Rush Hour at Waterloo Station

Waiting for her date at Waterloo

GOK what these two, spotted at London Paddington, were up to!

Tara’s original announcement of the theme suggests that street photography is all about people watching. But it is a lot more than that. It is buildings, street furniture, notices and objets trouvés; it’s the things most people would walk past and not even see. For instance:

Seen in an office window in Golden Square, London

I spotted these two deckchairs holding hands on Lyme Regis seafront

This was in Faversham, Kent although I have seen similar signs elsewhere

Moral: Always carry a camera and keep your eyes alert. There’s lots of fun out there!
