city life brussels street photography december 23

un(noticed) ?

An attempt at some street photography as the city was getting darker.

It seems to me that street photography in itself is all about noticing, looking for those brief moments where elements come together in decisive ways. I think there's a photo term for those moments :)

@Hiro: maybe! thanks Hiro

I find street photography incredibly compelling. Not only does it depict the true narrative of our streets, but it also allows the lens to capture details that escape our notice.

@Giulio: Thanks Giulio, and absolutely, I like this aspect as well. For example in this image, I was not looking at the sign above the people when I snapped the photo but in retrospect, I like how it says, "HIPS" (the "C" of "chips" is flaking out) and sort of echoes the people walking by, "Moving their hips" as we say in English. I also like that the man in the shop is like a different frame than the people outside. In his own world (thus the "un" noticed of the people outside)

A nicely exposed street shot.

I like the contrast of the light and darkness in this one.

The shopkeeper is the hidden depth to the image.

@Ted: Absolutely, though admittedly I was focused on the street when I had snapped the pic.

I like this view of city life in these small shops open when everything is asleep!
Nice shot.

@Jean-Luc.M: Thanks Jean-Luc. And it is also a good example of how an image can be deceiving as there was a huge Christmas market full of people just one street over.

Roger Dekert from VAUREAL, France

No one noticed anyone.
Potential customers pass by without daring to come in and disturb the cashier, busy as he is with his smartphone.
