spokane washington

i took a ton of pictures while in spokane last weekend. i am trying to continue with my "less is more" philosophy ... but i took over 300 shots and i need to narrow them down ... here goes:

i'm splitting them up into 3 posts.

here's the frst picture i took in spokane and the first picture i've ever taken with my new camera (nikon d7000 - that i barely know how to use).

strangers.

photographers call it "street photography," i call it uncomfortable. the idea is, you walk around with your camera and take pictures of people. strangers. sometimes they see you taking their picture and sometimes they don't. i really want to take pictures like this, but its pretty intimidating. recently the weave and i took a photo class that brought us downtown to chinatown. i felt safer shooting pictures of strangers being with a group ... i could always use the excuse "oh, sorry, we're with a photo class ..."

so, here's my first attempt at "street photography." i really like some of them ... i guess i shouldn't post the others, but ...
