Does this fit the theme of Street photography? Elaine gave me a definition this morning in her comment on the shot of the empty tables. It said it should reflect the human condition in public places. Interested what you think.
Oh yes. I'd count this as street photography. I think this one may be a real candidate for b and w which I think would help to really highlight the feature of the shot. It works really well for a shot without people in it. certainly intrigued to the story behind the shot.
I would think it would just be a visitor to the boat - can't imagine the manoeuvring necessary on a boat to be made by someone living there who was wheelchair bound!
This is such intriguing street photography. I instantly wonder how on earth they get the wheelchair on and off that barge, and how they get around inside. A lovely shot of someones life Pam.

I like that definition of the human condition - it helps me see how it differs from simply shots of streets (e.g., buildings/architecture/leading lines) which I had been struggling with figuring out. I do have a few dramatic ones from this morning as the firefighters worked on our house...must have something good come out of this mess!

And Pam, I think this works really well as street photography. For me, there's a lot of color that tends to be distracting so I am heading over to the b&w version.
@pamknowler@888rachel@sullivar@newbank@taffy Definitely qualifies for street photography in my book Pam. Your friend's definition sums up my views on the subject too. I really like this shot, the wheelchair immediately kicks the brain into gear wondering who, how, why etc. But, as has already been observed, the colour tends to distract from the main focus so I'll be very interested to see the b&w version.
This guy is a NY street photographer, whose work is worth looking at. I bought a couple of his ebooks (come as a pair) which I'm now reading avidly, check out his website if you have time and inclination. http://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/
