Classic Street Photography by Steve Garth

Street Photography is my passion. Those close to me say the street is my second home. I venture out with my camera strapped to my wrist, my fingers constantly adjusting the controls as I walk. The adrenaline starts pumping yet I’m completely relaxed. My spatial awareness heightens and my senses sharpen as I move through the constant ballet of motion around me, a myriad of individual dances all interconnected with me at the epicenter.

A young mother with baby in stroller walk toward me as I see a painter in the corner of my eye. I sense that something is going to happen. Time seems to slow down as my hand intuitively adjusts the camera controls and I move to the right spot. As mother and baby pass the painter I bring camera to eye and press the shutter. Another moment captured and I move on down the street.

I have no words to explain the whys and wherefores of my street experience. “Magic” or “Intuition on Steroids” come to mind but fall far short. However the results are my expression of the fine art of life that is around us at all times. Sometimes surreal, often times humorous and at other times, just pure moments of grace. I hope you gain as much pleasure from them as I did in capturing them….
