RE: First street pic set from Lisbon. Shops and street around Avenue Da Liberdade.
Thanks Misslasvegas. Window pics with a reflection are really cool :) Will have to check out some of your pics form Galway, are they on your Steemit blog?
No they're not. As I told you before, I'm about as organised as a laundry basket filled with odd socks...Plus, I had my laptop stolen not long before Steemfest and the dummy that I am, I didn't back up so lots of photos are lost (like the photos of my son's first 2 years!!!), so I yet have to find out what I have and what I don't have. I was doing an art course at the time and we went to Galway to do some street photography. I had a few amazing photos and some very spontaneous ones. There was one in particular that I was very happy about, of an old woman (homeless???) talking to someone. I managed to capture her wrinkly face with a cigarette hanging from the edge of her mouth. It was great! And she was a great sport about it too! She told me no one ever took the time to take a photo of her, it was the first one taken since she was in school! Amazing what a simple gesture can do. When I find the cable to my camera or get a new camera, I will definitely hit the streets a bit more. I love photography and you and Steemfest gave me the inspiration to get back into it..Thanks for that.
