"Chinese" New Year: "International Holiday" in New York

<i>My observation is also based on psychology. We are all tourists in a general sense. Besides the personal snapshot, we want to take pictures of something we usually don't see.</i><P>

Nonsense. When I'm living in Nashville, the vast majority of my shots are taken in my neighborhood or in regular hangouts around town. When I'm living in Korea, I shoot what's around me every day. Look at the images of most active street/documentary photographers and you'll see that much of their photography is focused on what surrounds them every day.<P>

If you have a narrow view of what's interesting, fine--you certainly have every right to decide what you like. But don't attribute that limited view to some fundamental aspect of human psychology.

How inscrutable.

I started this thread only for fun before it was hijacked by serious street photography gurus and became a show of isolated boring faces full of beautiful natural and artificial (and photoshop) lights. I do like those photos, but not on a holiday of happiness.

 

IMHO, Larry and Marc's photos are more appropriate and I enjoy them a lot, although nobody would put them in a gallery.

 

Post something happy. Life is dark enough.

sam, yours are far from fun, or even alive....every pic you post looks like you tripped on a rock and the shutter went off....maybe a big hit of lsd is in order?

You bet.<div></div>

great, another shot with nothing interesting at f22

This one was delayed due to the so called <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00BcHF">
