Humans of Venice
“I love the people I photograph. I mean, they’re my friends. I've never met most of them or I don’t know them at all, yet through my images I live with them.” – Bruce Gilden.
“Most of my photos are grounded in people, I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a persons face.” Steve McCurry
“I really don’t have any idea about photography, but I take pictures.” – Alex Majoli
"The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.” – Robert Doisneau
Today I'm sharing with you my world of street photography and people watcher.
OUR WORLD TUESDAY.
Very nice people photos, so spontaneous and enjoyable; nice quotes, too!
ReplyDeleteI love the accompanying quotes with your pictures. Very appropriate. Personally I don't like taking pictures of strangers. I don't like it when there is a beautiful scenery and there are people in the picture hehehe
ReplyDeleteYou've totally nailed it, Maria. I want to learn from you because this inspires me.

ReplyDeleteThe orange flowers hanging on the tree on the first image is named in Portuguese, "Flor-de-São João".
I did many posts about them. It is named Flame Vine, (Pyrostegia venusta).These orange flowers, considered invasive, is a woody climber that climbs with its tendrils. Popularly known as Fleur-de-Saint-John and Cipo-de-Saint-John, almost all native to Brazil, is found in roadsides, ravines and fences. They begins to bloom in May and runs until September, varying in each state of Brazil. It has medicinal properties and toxic too. Please go to Categories, click on label "Flame Vine" and you can see many others posts about them.
The orchild is a wild orchild that grow in that tree.
Thanks for the visit and comment!
