It’s been a long time since the last post. Sorry about that. We got back from San Francisco late last week, where I got to concentrate on some street photography. I’ve always wanted to focus on it a bit more, and I found it’s much easier if the environment is right, like at Fisherman’s Wharf, where everyone is in their own world. Here in Sioux Falls, people spot you a mile away because there’s basically nothing else to look at.

Anyway, let me know what you think of these. I like them all, but my favorites are no. 4 (submarine), no. 5 (tourists unaware), no. 7 (can man) and last but not least, no. 9 (bench player).

More from this series on Flickr.

    crabs 11.95 is where it’s at.

    These are remarkable–definitely worth the wait! You captured a great perspective of FW–a cast of characters of which no two are alike. These are super–my personal fav is no. 8. Absolutely killer.

    Can man is totally great. Nice work, S.

    Thanks, friendly people. Looking back at it, I don’t think it’s even fair for me to name favorites at this point. They’re all my favs.

    Number 6 is where it’s at for me. I bet this guy has some stories to tell. Hopefully you were able to partake of the crab and a cold frosty one with him.

  6. Stefan Hartwig

    Yeah, had some crab, and it was good. Didn’t get to enjoy it with Alfonso, as I’ve taken to calling him.

    these are bloody wonderful photos man. I stumbled onto your site thru the link to electric pulp on phil renauds blog(35 sexiest sites part four) I was intrigued with electric pulp so I wanted to know more about the people behind it. Simply incredible photography :) Do keep it up :)

  8. Stefan Hartwig

    Thanks Matthew. Welcome. Stick around…more coming soon (hopefully tomorrow). Thanks again for your kind words.

    Nice Pics. I remember that district while visiting Jason last summer.

    Cool pics, reminds me of when I did a study of the street performers down at the Wharf a couple of years ago…
