Around the World in Nine Photos

by Krista

It's in the grip of North American winter that I often dream of escape to warmer climates. Thanks to the WordPress.com Reader and the street photography tag, I can satisfy my travel yen whenever it strikes. Here are just some of the amazing photos and photographers I stumbled upon during a recent armchair trip.

My first stop was Alexis Pazoumian's fantastic SERIES: India at The Sundial Review. I loved the bold colors in this portrait and the man's thoughtful expression.

Speaking of expressions, the lead dog in Holly's photo from Maslin Nude Beach, in Adelaide, Australia, almost looks as though it's smiling. See more of Holly's work at REDTERRAIN.

In a slightly different form of care-free, we have the muddy hands of Elina Eriksson's son in Zambia. I love how his small hands frame his face. The gentle focus on his face and the light in the background evoke warm summer afternoons at play.

Heading to Istanbul, check out Jeremy Witteveen's fun shot of this clarinetist. Whenever I see musicians, I can't help but wonder about the song they're playing.

Pitoyo Susanto's lovely portrait of the flower seller, in Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, captivated me. Aren't her eyes and her gentle smile things of beauty?

Arresting in a slightly different fashion is Rob Moses' Ski Hill Selfie, taken in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The juxtaposition of the bold colors and patterns in the foreground against the white snow in the background caught my eye.

Further under the category of fun juxtaposition, is Liu Tao's photo of the elderly man in Hafei, China, whose fan reminds me of a punk rock mohawk.

From Hafei, we go to Havana, Cuba, and Edith Levy's beautifully ethereal Edificio Elena. I found the soft pastels and gentle shadows particularly pleasing. They lend a distinctly feminine quality to the building.

And finally, under the category of beautiful, is Aneek Mustafa Anwar's portrait, taken in Shakhari Bazar, Old Dhaka, Bangladesh. The boy's shy smile is a wonderful representation of the word on his shirt.
