Erich, you managed to capture a broad cross section of life with these photos. Really nice work.

Yesterday many of you were kind enough to give me pointers for "street photography". It is something I know very little about; but do have an interest in. So, today I went to the boardwalk where I knew there would be a lot of people. I kept in mind that street should include the person's environment to give context to the photo. I also tried to keep in mind that I should try to have a preconception of what I want to shoot. That conception turned out to be "people working". There are lots of rides and games and vendors at the boardwalk. I figured if I tried to capture these people earning a living, I would have a workable theme. I also tried to be open minded and flexible enough to take advantage of scenes other than my preconceived theme. I don't think any of my photos are going to win awards; but I'm hoping that they are not embarrassingly awful either. Please feel free to criticize these photos. I'm trying to learn and, if I'm making mistakes, I need to know about it. Thanks. So it turns out that 60 percent are people working. I had a backpack full of lenses; but ended up sticking with the one I had put on the camera at home which was an 85mm prime. Shot with Shutter priority because I wanted sharp photos but was not too concerned with dof. Did not put on manual because I wanted composition and selection of subject to be my primary concern.
