The French have coined a word for us urban strollers, flâneurs, people who derive pleasure from observing the urban scene completely and aesthetically.

Urban or Street photography focuses on features found in the urban environment. Emphasis is on people, surroundings, activities and architectural details.

This genre of photography can be considered documentation of the place you have visited, and enjoyed at that point in time.

I have always loved the Urban scene. Walking the endlessly fascinating streets, ducking down quiet lanes looking for photographic opportunities.
