What are friends for?

I find street photography intriguing – where before I focused [pun intended 😉 ] on landscapes for my paintings, now I find I want to get into the cities to see what I can capture in urban light and shadow, dirt and grime, architecture, traffic and people.  This post focuses [ 🙂 ] on people (mostly), companionable people … except for the last photo they are all strangers to me.  Humans and animals alike seem to seek out companionship …

… someone with whom to sit back and observe life’s comings and goings

… to hang out with

… for camaraderie on the job

… to share our coffee breaks

… to protect us

… to make sure we follow the rules

.. someone who believes as we do

… who we can trust to be by our side

… to watch our backs as we walk through life’s puddles

… to discuss things with

…and to relax with

… for comfort when we’re down

… to help when we are lost

… to keep us on the straight and narrow

… and we need travel companions to go with us to capture these shots and to share in our laughter and adventures

This week’s photo challenge is: Companionable
