10 Years of Street Photography - a photo on Flickriver

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Black and white re-edit of a shot from May 2019.

Today, 16th May 2023, marks the 10 year anniversary of my street photography journey.

Looking back at my older images it is clear to me that my confidence soared over that time to captured the images that I have been able to take.

There have been almost countless memorable moments throughout that journey. From the lows of one single encounter where I was physically assaulted, to the highs of photographing Emeli Sandé and undertaking my art on a national advertising campaign for one of the international top five companies, and all points in between.

While I am saddened that the pandemic has put a massive damper on my passion, I have continued to take street photography images throughout every one of those years, though obviously there are far fewer these past few. While the pandemic still rages it is not the primary reason keeping me from street photography today. Nor is my recently fractured foot.
I may share the reason in the coming days but either way, know that my passion for street photography remains as high now as it ever was.

It is you, all of you, that follow and enjoy my photography here on Flickr that have made every single moment special. Without you it would still be worthwhile but you make it special. I am honoured and humbled by each and every comment, favourite and view of my work here. Some of you have even followed me here for the whole of those 10 years! I am profoundly grateful to you all, beyond the measure of words, and many wonderful friendships have been made.

I raise a glass of water and some painkillers to the next 10 years.

Thank you all, each and every one. Stay safe.
