On belgianstreets, photographer Andy Townend recently shot "stripfeest," an annual comics festival held in Brussels, Belgium. We loved how Andy captures this young reader fully ensconced in his comic book. An avid photographer, Andy is also a regular contributor to The Daily Post's Weekly Photo Challenge.

We were intrigued by the untold stories in Michael Wilson's photo, "the flower seller," on his site, BrooklynBystander. Taken in Adelaide, South Australia, the photo below documents a brief moment of commerce. We look at it and wonder: who is it that these gentlemen bought flowers for -- perhaps a friend, a relative, a lover, or maybe themselves?

Speaking of untold stories, the following moment of domesticity in the middle distance at Plebs Street Photography caught our eye. A woman, and a man working on a laptop, are both enjoying a bit of stolen warmth during Copenhagen Indian Summer. What is she doing? What is he working on? We love the way this photo allows us to imagine their story.

Matt Weber, a photographer who has documented New York City's fleeting moments for the last 25 years, captured this subway performer's serious glare and the polarizing effect this "subterranean gymnast" had on the passengers around him. If you were on this train car, would you be appreciative or apathetic?

Another quick spin through the WordPress.com Reader takes us from New York City's subway to the following quiet moment in Venice, Italy, courtesy of photographer Kyra Betteridge. Kyra captured these gondola drivers in repose, as they waited for their next customers. We love how the light in this photograph draws your eye directly to the drivers, in their bright, striped shirts. Check out more of Kyra's work on her site, Kyra Betteridge Photography.

At Life is a Vacation, Sangeeta wrestles with her emotions over the following photograph she took in Mandu, India, post-monsoon. The elderly woman struggling up the muddy, slippery incline reminded Sangeeta of her own nonagenarian grandmother.

Jessica Heckinger Nowak captures a different sort of solitude in this image of an accordion player in the streets of Paris, France. We love how if you focus your gaze on the player, the graffiti scribbled across the low wall resembles the flurry of musical notes we imagine emanating from his accordion. Interested in seeing more? Check out Jessica's work at National Geographic.
