I have a few ‘projects’ on the go at the moment. They are slow going, but a new camera has given a bit of a boost to the images I am capturing on bike rides. The OM5 fits perfectly into my front pannier and is quick to access when needed. Traveling off the beaten path reaps rewards. I found the lady shown below sitting on the doorstep of her home, surrounded by family. She is 104 years old, and her name is Huang Dao.

It’s all in a name.

Names are quite salient to this blog post. I have rarely stopped to ask for someone’s name when taking Street Photographs, as the images are often captured quickly whilst on the fly. Looking back through old photos brings up a number of questions. Who were these people, and where are they now? Finding a little back story to each person may be a way to add depth to a project. Definitely food for thought!
