This week's #AlphabetTechPhoto is Portraits
We want to see portraits that feature or represent something named after a person! Think of a person in a Mackintosh, someone driving a Ford, even a close-up with Diesel machinery. Get creative with your naming history

The savvy street pigeons at the corner of Colfax and Broadway, Denver.

Four pigeons walking on a city sidewalk very close to the street. The morning light is harsh, highlighting the textures of the pavement but muting details of the birds.

Lewis Chess pieces, named after the island or the bay where they were found in Scotland

Well,, these are the cheap replicas I bought at The British Museum. They were my favorite artefacts with the Rosetta Stone.

🇬🇧 Fortunately, there is light at the end of the tunnel here...

🇩🇪 Glücklicherweise gibt es hier Licht am Ende des Tunnels...

#EastCoastKin #Photography #streetphotography #urbanphotography #Aachen
This is a photo of a tunnel lying under the railway tracks heading towards Cologne, connecting the Burtscheid and Frankenburger Viertel neighborhoods in Aachen. It is a nighttime photo. The left and right sides are in the dark. The focus is on the end section. It is illuminated by the only (visible) lamp, which accentuates the semicircular construction with a soft yellow to orange-yellow light. The roadway runs from the right front to the center. The white houses on the opposite side are visible through the opening behind it. To the left front is the sidewalk. The shadows of two walkers there stand out against the light of the aforementioned lamp. (Photo 29-01-2026)

I took this photo in 2005. It was one of those glorious, warm fall nights, and people were lined up at the ice cream parlors in Ann Arbor. This Ben & Jerry’s is on State Street in the University of Michigan campus area. #UrbanGaze #StreetPhotography #AnnArbor #NightPhotography #Photography

The image shows the iconic entrance to The Savoy Hotel in London. The perspective is from the middle of the driveway, which is lined with high end cars on one side and topiary on the other, leading into the hotel, with a person walking away from the camera toward the entrance. There is a grand canopy in bright silver over the entrance with the word “SAVOY” in large capital letters and golden statue of a knight above this surrounded by flags.

Crossing Without Witness : Abandoned bridge north of Spencer, IA

#streetphotography #urbangaze #humansofbluesky #abandoned #urbex
A lone figure moves away from the camera, framed by the repeating geometry of an iron bridge that seems to narrow with each step. The structure holds firm—bolts, trusses, and cables doing their quiet work—while the wooden planks show the wear of countless crossings now forgotten. Light filters in from the far end, not as a promise but as a continuation, suggesting that the act of crossing matters more than what waits beyond. It’s a photograph about passage and persistence: how we keep moving forward through places built by others, carrying our own unspoken reasons with us.

A b&w photo of a man with glasses, wearing a tweed jacket, shirt and tie and dark trousers, standing against a stone pub wall under rows of large mullioned windows. He reads a paperback book. A picnic style table is next to him, supporting his overcoat, bag and a large furled umbrella

Flowing dark garments and reflective pavement:
(The) Matrix 😎
Black-and-white street photograph of two women running side by side along a rain-soaked city sidewalk. Both wear long, dark coats that flare behind them as they move, evoking a cinematic, slow-motion urgency. The woman on the left wears a light-colored baseball cap, a crossbody bag bouncing at her hip, and lace-up boots; her expression appears animated, as if laughing or calling out. The woman on the right wears a long, flowing coat and dark outfit, her posture forward-leaning and focused as she runs. Their reflections stretch clearly across the glossy pavement, doubled in elongated, mirror-like streaks beneath their feet. The urban setting features mid-rise buildings with shopfronts on the left, a lamppost and street signs along the curb, and blurred vehicles and pedestrians in the misty background. The wet street surface, overcast sky, and high contrast lighting create a moody, atmospheric tone. The image is visually eponymous with The Matrix (1999) in its aesthetic parallels: the monochrome palette, dramatic coats in motion, urban environment, and sense of kinetic urgency recall the film’s iconic slow-motion action sequences and stylized cityscapes. The flowing dark garments and reflective pavement especially echo the sleek, dystopian visual identity associated with the movie’s signature look.

week 4 - Portrait

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEponymous #Photography #Portrait #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A striking black and white portrait of my brother-in-law John. He is seated at a dark wooden table with his hands clasped together in front of him. He wears a dark, textured cardigan over a simple t-shirt. The lighting is soft, creating a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus sharp on his eyes while the plain background softly falls away. Technical Specs: Camera: Lumix GX9 Lens: Panasonic/Leica 25mm (50mm equivalent) Settings: f/1.8, 1/200s Post-processing: Edited in Adobe Lightroom

A black and white street photograph shows a person walking briskly across a pavement in front of a dark shop. The person, wearing a beanie, a puffer jacket, and carrying a long, thin pole, is captured mid-stride. To the left, a wall features a colorful mural of a smiling snowman and a cartoon character in a kilt holding bagpipes. The storefront windows are mostly blacked out, featuring the white text "Bigger," "Better," and "& Coming," alongside logos for "Monaghans Jewellers." The composition uses high contrast, with the bright pavement and street tiles leading the eye across the frame, while the dark background creates a moody, urban atmosphere.

A b&w photograph of a row of trees one behind the other. There are no leaves on the trees. There is a. Angled building to the left and a lower more rectangular one to the right. There are some wispy clouds in the sky and there are no people present.
