The theme this month is URBAN. And as you all know I am a country girl at heart, never lived in a city (unless you can call Boulder, CO a city - which I actually lived in Louisville, so even that doesn't count!). :) I love the country and all the photos that come from the country, but this urban theme had me thinking creatively and I took my friend Sasha on a "Photo Walk" in Northampton, home of Smith College where there is so much diversity and character in the streets. It is the closest thing to a city in my neighborhood. SO here is my interpretation with scenes from Northampton. Enjoy!

VIVA - Fresh Pasta Company
The best food in town - actually the whole area, as we recently have been visiting here for lunch - my favorite new lunch spot. They make their own fresh home made pasta and the Portabello mushroom ravioli is to die for! Thanks to Lynn Lenker for the recommendation -- if you are in town - stop at VIVA! Yummy.
Wish I had this shot for the "Chair" on last week's scavenger hunt! :) I Love this street scene.
It is odd to take photos of people in the streets, like it is an invasion of privacy. This photo shows the street performer playing his guitar, very peaceful and expressive. Reminds me of Boulder where this was the scene every day on Pearl Street (designed by the same people that designed Church Street in Burlington, VT) There are so many performers in the streets and it was reported that they make VERY good money. :)
Taking clock photos a lot on this walk --- just something about time standing still.... The angles of this old clock on the top of the church in the center of town was my favorite. Hope you like the photos - please leave a comment if you stop by!

I think these are great urban shots and I see you've gotten your "clock" photo as well...that's the one I still have to shoot.
In response to your earlier question, I'm not sure that it matters if you shoot RAW or JPG (that's a preference) - Faith's class will definitely help you better use your camera in manual mode. I already shoot in manual mode but thought I could enhance my current skill set and peer-educate.
I think your photos are great...very urban. I took a few of random strangers on the street too. I guess it's sort of an invasion of privacy, but I admit I do it often!
Love the clock photo...my favorite! Thanks for the walk today!
I am so glad you found my challenge through Ashley. It's so fun to see more wonderful photography blogs. Your shots are great - love the chairs and the clock - VERY URBAN! :)
