I am going to post images new and old of this genre in this new topic name. Shortly described below as what I want to convey in this photos.
People in hurry, no time to stop. The contrast of the man in a hurry and the man by the wall with his dog create a contrast in this shot. And the tourist walking … is dropped into their world.
Two takes color and black and white, which one works best?


Street photography captures candid moments of daily life in public spaces. From bustling city streets to quiet suburban neighborhoods, we try to document the raw and unscripted moments that unfold around us. With an emphasis on capturing the essence of a scene or the emotions of the people within it, street photography offers a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the world we inhabit. Whether it’s a fleeting expression, a captivating composition, or an unexpected juxtaposition, street photography celebrates the beauty and intrigue found in everyday moments.

I generally like the black and white, but in this cases, the B&W make it seem like the time of day is wrapping up – people are done for the day. The colour photo shows a blue mid-day sky and looks like people are still going about their busy day. Just my impression.
Appreciate you taking the time to analyze the difference and I can see your point.
Thanks for this Street Art. Anita
Thanks Anita 🙂
B&W for me – we concentrate more on the actions of the people without being distracted by the colour
Thanks Sue, I do agree with you
Good!
That’s a very narrow street and great photos. I think the black and white is more atmospheric but the color one is more lively and inviting (as a place to visit)
I also prefer BW, as it captures the essence of the topic
