I have come to the realization that what I am attempting to do in these images is meld the rather disparate fields of child portraiture and street photography.

In the first case, child portraiture involves photographing a child in a controlled environment that is possibly made up to look like someplace it isn’t.

In the second case, in my experience with street photography, the photographer generally more-or-less wanders about waits for subjects to come to her; certainly it is considered rather impolite to chase people down.

What a combination of the two amounts to is taking my child to an interesting location and setting her free then proceeding to chase after her with a camera in hopes of getting some fascinating interaction. In this way, it is rather more like sports photography than anything else.

This photo clearly leans toward portraiture,

while this is quite clearly a street shot with baby.

The juggler was an interesting fellow.
