Mob Street Photographer - Dariusz Sobiecki
When we think of street photography we often think of people frozen in motion on a crowded city street, however street photography is more than that. Wikipedia describes it:
The Work
Street photography is photography that features the human condition within public places and does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment.Today's mob street feature showcases just such an image.

The Photographer - Dariusz Sobiecki
Equipped with my mobile and DSLR camera. I also fervently document and explore the history and interesting sites of my region, especially those abandoned and sinking into oblivion. In 2013 I began running a blog dedicated to my beloved Gdynia. Soon I am also planning to start a blog about so called Tri City where I want to present my subjective highlights of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot. My former singing in rock bands is now replaced by almost obsessive listening to music where I often find inspiration and boost of positive energy. And cycling - I could never forget about it ! Once fast and adventurous – now fast and usually photography – bound
Dariusz' Commentary - The Kite Whisperer
There are days when I go out hunting for moments to capture nearly dazzled with intensity of stimuli coming from either “nature play” or street life. February 5, 2014 was obviously such a day! It was very special because after three weeks of fierce winter, days of thaw finally came. It was warm and pleasant but the landscape was still cast with ice. As I was getting nearer the city beach, I spotted a young man flying a kite – a totally striking site in the midst of winter! The scene was so archetypal and contrastive that I knew instantly a new frame must come out of it! I took a few pictures already visualizing the desired effect. Having chosen the best take, I got to the edition – to strengthen the symbolic, timeless impact I was moderate with modifications, limiting myself mostly to the basic touches like the crop, light and contrast – as an Android user I usually use Pixlr for most of the editing. I also add PicsArt filters occasionally - that time I needed a Twilight filter for a slight dim and the hazy circle – so important to create the corresponding atmosphere. The memorable Wednesday late morning gave me more significant images, including The Eternal Road - Extended Re-edit, recently featured in Mob Street.
