I am a hobby photographer and I also like to write … I was on Internet in the beginning so that’s why I have a lot of blogs … curious and love to learn … In the “beginning” it was HTML and WYSIWYG and now it is wordpress and tumblr ….
Birgitta – blogfia – FOTO chip … that’s me!

I am a retired teacher and educator – specialist education.
1 son, 2 daughters, 4 grandchildren – 2 boys and 2 girls.
Living in Lund, Sweden.
A free spirit …
Now I write poetry too – challenging myself writing haibun, haiku, cinquian …..
Working with pictures is a great hobby – I have flow all the time!
I am now totally lost in STREET PHOTOGRAPHING – showing the street life of people.
Thinking a lot of what Street Photographing is to me – reading articles – getting inspired of other street photographers – take part in many SP groups in Internet …. learning …. enjoying …. living …
I shoot in Black & White …. and I go with the flow …
About STREET SHOOTING
To me it is important …
- it’s public urban places
- it’s people in my pictures
- it’s (for me) unknown people
- that anyone can be photographed
- it’s never arranged pictures
- to not interfere the situation
- to always show my camera
- show the life in streets by photographing people
- to think twice when taking pictures of children
- to like people but not always the situation
- to keep political text away from street photos
(politics has another arena) - to give the viewer opportunity for self-interpretation
- with a spirit to not humiliate or insult
- to show any kind of streetlife in my photos
- …
wonderful work here Birgitta!!!
thanks for sharing,
Vincent
Oh thanks Vincent!
Makes me very happy and I’m so glad you like my photos 🙂
… I’m confused, you have so many blogs, I just have time for one..
Ha ha – well that’s my “work” nowadays and I love it 🙂
… and I like testing different wordpress themes 😉
Love your work. Will be following with interest.
Thanks Bob! I’m so glad you like my photos 🙂
Wishing you a great week!
I concurr with all your requirements for street photography. I think this is what should all street photographers think before heading out in the street. Very well written!!!
Thanks Alexander! I am so glad you agree to this and I also think all Street Photographers should write their own declaration. That’s the least they can do to all their motive models 🙂
