Photos of the World

The art of photography is much the same no matter where you travel on this big blue ball.

Folks enjoy taking pictures of their lives and what they encounter as they pass through the everyday dilemmas, joys, and mundane tasks of life.

People’s life styles, habits, work and play may take on a different slant from country to country.

In the United States, many parents shoot images of Friday night football.

In Europe, it is soccer matches.

Australians are capturing images at rugby and cricket matches.

The thrill of photography is in the eye of the beholder.

A photographer from one locale may see an image in a scene that a native photographer may not notice.

A jaded view of the scenery makes the native’s imaging seem lifeless and dull.

The unfamiliar scene presents a fresh perspective for the foreign photographer.

What lies behind a scene or life’s daily activities can make for exciting images no matter what locale they come from.

When a foreign photographer first sees a view of the Grand Canyon, it is a breathtaking.

Witnessing the magnificent mountain ranges of the Alps is also an awe-inspiring vision for creating a landscape portrait.

Photographers who are traveling the world capturing images from far-flung locales are the eyes of the folks who will never see another continent first hand.

Worldwide, photography has a following of folks who love being able to share not only their vision of the world but also what is happening in their environment whether it is in Manhattan or on the Matterhorn.
