According to Buddha
Making others happy, through kindness of speech and sincerity of right advice, is a sign of true greatness. To hurt another soul by sarcastic words, looks, or suggestions, is despicable..
came in from a rainy thursday
on the avenue
thought i heard you talking softly
but i won’t cry for yesterday
there’s an ordinary world
somehow i have to find
and as i try to make my way
to the ordinary world
i will learn to survive

Edmonton ~ random downtown streets ~ April 2016
such great moments of street life…
Thanks kindly Alexandra it was a wonderful Friday foto walk! ☺️
These photos are great. Nice small slices of life.
thank you Matt…always makes me feel alive taking street shots…appreciate you saying 😀
I have long admired those who do street photography, and would love to feel more comfortable doing it myself. 🙂
it’s one of my favourite genres…I feel alive and love to see people living lives doing things we all do daily…thank you Matt…compose a happy day ☺️
Nice. Like the last one best. Ever get hassled doing street shooting in Edmonton?
Not so often at all…I just smile…sometimes a woman will say ‘did you take my picture’ so I chat but I never use images if I sense the person doesn’t want their photo taken…more often I get people waving or smiling so I also try in a sneaky way so they look natural and relaxed but always smile at them so they know…sometimes I share what I have in camera…thanks for asking Bunty…I also like to think people will be fine if they see their images years from now so I am careful in selecting…I have thought and written on these issues so I like to think I’m somewhat mindful…but who knows ☺️🤓 thanks for asking ~ smiles Hedy
Fantastic images.
Humble thank you Bob 😀☺️
You’ve got some great street shots here Hedy. Have a great week. Cheers!
Thank you kindly Chris…I was happy it was warm and people were out…often Edmonton can be rather quiet ☺️ happy snapping weeks to you Chris!
Hey, that’s Martin Scorsese in the fourth image! 😉
That’s hilarious you say that because I thought that same when I saw him…but he would be the etown version ☺️😉 smiles Hariod! 😀
