Last week, my family and I spent a few days in Harbour Island, a lovely little island south of us in the Bahamas off the tip of North Eleuthera.  I took a walk in the late afternoon to do a bit of street photography, which I haven’t really done in years.  I enjoyed it so much -the colors, the people, the light, the chickens.  🙂

The next post will be from a morning walk, when I came upon a group of kids having a bike race.

I’ve started an Instagram page for streetlife in the Bahamas: www.instagram.com/bahamaphotographer

 

Roosters don’t like being photographed -I hunted this one down for awhile:

“NO FEET ON BENCHES”

This is Jimmy and this is “Jimmy’s street!”, which he yelled at me as I approached.  We ended up talking for awhile.

Jimmy is smiling here but later he confessed that he just wants a way off Harbour Island.  He is stuck in “paradise”.

Thing 2:

I could do a whole book on the chickens of Harbour Island.  They are a really challenging subject -it’s a good lesson in waiting for the composition to line up and then praying for a moment before they run off.  Chicken are always moving -mostly away from me.

“Just Do It”  (Or don’t.  Just Chill.)

No Parking Please.  No Dumping Please.

One view of a sunset hangout:

The other view of the sunset hangout.  I took a video of this scene -the chitchat, laughter, and kids running around was a beautiful combination.
