Keep Taking

In the BT add but more importantly on a Pink Floyd track Stephen Hawking told us to Keep Talking ,that's fine  but I want to you to Keep Taking as well,keep taking what you may ask and the answer is photographs
What do you mean keep taking photographs there are more taken than there have ever been you say ,well yes we all see the photographs on Facebook and Twitter but what are most of them,they are People and Selfies very relevant in their own right and they will show future generations how we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves.

However I have seen recently on the Flickr Photo sharing website a number of shots from the early part of the century of assorted everyday scenes,traffic in the street,train stations,people going about their daily business  basically what is defined as Reportage Photography  not carried out by "Proper Photographers"  but by people in the street with their cameras and phones.

We need to ensure that everything that goes on from day to day in the world and the places we frequent is recorded for future generations to see,and believe it or not its not illegal, don't go out to embarrass your subject just record what is going on and in 100 years our descendants will get as much pleasure looking at what our world looked like from the point of view of the average Man and Woman in the street as we do looking back on shots our Ancestors took

Oh and you'll probably never win any awards for them but you'll have a lot of fun taking them I promise

A few I have taken in the last 12 months
