On the tram

Always have found "people on tram" shots interesting. Do you agree that they say a lot about the times?

  1. Ciao, è vero le persone sul tram la dicono lunga sui tempi che corrono, sono uno specchio della società. Bellissimi scatti. Ciao, un abbraccio.

  3. Yes, I do agree, they do indeed say a lot about these times! You've captured that "look" perfectly, Anni, and it is sad statement about our world today! Hope you have a good weekend!

  4. I usually don't dare to take pictures of people on the tram, or anywhere really! But I agree, these are a snapshot of a moment in time.

  8. I don't know, it is a difficult questions. I am a bit reluctant to take pictures of people in public.

    1. as I told Frans, look at the great example of the Sartorialist who constantly takes and publishes people shots..
      it is not always easy but I enjoy and I think that the spontaneity is gone once you ask and the time spirit is gone with it also..
      If someone asks not to be photographed or not to have their picture published, I oblige, of couse !

  9. Kijken naar gewone mensen, dat doe ik ook graag. Meestal van op een terrasje ofzo... @->--

  10. Hallo Anni,
    Ja, je komt alle soorten types tegen in het openbaar vervoer... Maar uit principe fotografeer ik bijna nooit mensen zonder hun toestemming. Je weet maar nooit!
    Groetjes,
    Frans

  11. zulke foto's hebben alle een eigen verhaal. Als ik op een terras zit is het niet alleen om even te relaxen of een drankje te nemen, maar ook om al de voorbij komende personen te observeren. Groetjes Dietmut

    1. Thanks, Judith .. I liked the way that the passenger looked, reason why I took a picture.. I think he is not Belgian, but then I really have no idea.
      It is true that he looks time-less

  15. I used to take pictures of people on means of public transport. Maily because I totally relied on public transport for about 6 months in my little life. When you are travelling about all the time and spending time waiting in stations, you feel the need to enjoy time by taking pictures when you are a photographer.
