Many viewers can agree that modern life, more especially for the city dwellers, is hectic, and these captures by Sarah Pannell find the stillness in this chaos.
The Street-View series of images by Californian photographer Sarah Pannell from San Jose is a collection of outdoor pictures of city streets and landscapes, which allow viewers to see for themselves the common scenes that are an integral part of city life, which is often overlooked.
The Street-View album by Sarah Pannell features familiar cityscapes from graffiti buildings, shop fronts and busy subways to clusters of office towers, art museums and food carts by the streets, among others. The photos are all very natural, with none of the subjects seeming to acknowledge a camera is looking their way.
