Shooting the Real Life...

One of the great things I learned in college was street photography. Some of the greats like Diane Arbus, Danny Lions, Robert Eggelston, and Mary Ellen Mark (to name a few) inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and take a look at the world. To notice the magic, the sadness, the irony, and the happiness. So a few years back I started creating more street photography with my iPhone and sometimes with my big girl camera. I have also started shooting in everyday life along the way. Here are some images from around Richmond, Virginia, and other places I have visited. (via my Instagram page @shootingthereallife)
