Thanks. As I continue my journey in Street Photography, I find that a single photograph is often insufficient to build a story, which is the component I value the most. That is not to say it cannot be done. I think the "greats" in this genre succeeded in doing just that. The visual impact created by the composition, colour and geometry are important but take second place to message. That often requires a connected series. Your first four photos are connected. For me, the fifth - less so.
Thank you for the insight - sounds challenging, yet it must be fun and satisfying (or I imagine you wouldn’t do it).
Thanks, Gary. When I manage to capture an interesting composition, it's definitely worth the wait.
I love the color and shapes of the 1st two and the light on the people and bench in the last one
Thanks, Josh. You picked my favourites.
Nice to see local input (albeit North and South Island). Walking the streets of Whangarei one tends to stand out with a camera.
Thanks, Colin. I enjoyed your photos of Fountains Abbey. And its was good to read about The Shutterroom in Whangarei.

Thanks Gerry. I agree — a good set can tell a more complete story.
