this is a really nice image . everything works . the people watching , the bikes in the background, and the position
of the performer . it tells a story as good street photography should .
the youtube video is amazing .

I have not gotten into Street Photography... but I have recently begun to look at that area on a regular basis.
I have noticed that they all (or almost all) are presented in B & W. I am not passing judgement in any way what-so-ever. I am just curious about why it is done that way.
Should I get into "Street" stuff... I want to do it "right"... not that there is ever all right or all wrong here at the Hog.
Thanks

the original street photography was b&w - cartier brasson , atget , frank - and many contemporary street photographers have emulated that style .
a color image can have areas of colors that can be distracting , and take away from what you are trying to say in the photo . i think creating good
color images is very hard , and converting to b&w is a way to simplify . sometimes color is why i took the photo , other times monochrome makes
a better statement . it is a matter of choice . you can shoot in color and convert to monochrome , unless you have a leica monochrome camera .

i like the photo - the composition and the moodiness . i do wish americans would dress more interestingly .
but , i guess , this is reality .

A very interesting old sign, painted on the brick wall by hand back when people had the time and patience to do such things. Was also struck by the adjacent fluorescent sign (a little hard to read in daylight) looks like it says "Shops - Lan Mart" - do you know anything about what sort of shops are there? Am I reading it correctly? What is "Lan Mart"?
i believe the coca cola sign was repainted many years back . petaluma has some very nice old buildings , both commercial and residential .
some movies have been made here , such as "american graffiti ". i am not sure what the lan mart was originally , but it now is like a mini
mall with numerous shops and studios .

i am happy that my photos initiated some dialog . we like to categorize things , and have them all in their place .
sometimes we need to think outside the box .
