*MY 2nd PHOTO, MY THOUGHTS*

No 2. Szentendre, Hungary August 2023

Walking around the pretty town of Szentendre I looked about and analysed the different scenes around me. I had a little time to do this, always useful. I spotted a nice variety of colours, a good balance of subjects and good light for this interesting scene. What’s going on here, I thought? What is that woman doing? With the camera on, I took the shot, I was happy with this perplexing picture. Once uploaded onto my PC I eagerly zoomed in on certain areas that interested me.

I named this photo, “What’s Going On?“

My first zoom was to the young lad on the guitar. The expression on his face – to me, he was questioning the woman’s actions? I loved the pastel colours surrounding this bronzed boy, his bare feet, his wayward curls and his fingers positioned on his guitar ready to play added to an almost hippy look from the 1960s.

My second zoom was to the tourist bending over. I was intrigued to know what she was touching and why? I zoomed in and it looks like a car tyre??? I have to say the fact the tourist is bent over makes for a more interesting shot.

Put the photo back together and we have a tepee in the background, a home made seesaw in the foreground and right at the back the sign on the door…a tailors, makes for an interesting composition. We shall never know why the tourist wanted to touch/feel the tyre!!

What ever the reason my interest in Street Photography is increasing.
