"Sunbathing" 

More, as always, after the jump.

Explore: San Jose

I love San Jose. All the things that could be said can be condensed into those three words. The people, the exotic and diverse restaurants (many with free wifi), the art galleries and clubs, the plentiful and cheap parking, the fact that I can hop onto the light rail for less then 5 bucks if I don't feel like driving, etc. I love it. Here are some pictures from a recent photo trip to Downtown, I really tried to push myself on this trip and approach people to ask them if I could take their picture. A lot said no...and that wasn't pleasant, but when someone said yes; I lit up inside. I was surprised and happy and just wanted to take their picture so that they could share in that joy with me!

When doing street photography its really difficult to put yourself out there and approach strangers, but (as with all things) its all a matter of practice. This isn't my last trip to downtown San Jose, by no means. You hear that people of S.J? Ill be back!

p.s And next time I'll have my 18-50mm lens with me! I love my 50-200mm lens, but there are times where I wished for nothing more than to be able to zoom out and really capture everything. 

"Quiet Afternoon"
Walking past the aisles I almost stumbled as my eyes swept past this scene. 

This was begging to be captured.

More as always after the jump...
