Forward by Errol Lyons-Rainey (edited by Chris Weeks)
Street photography is a game that is never played twice in the same manner, a game that that is you against the world, a game that you control – youdecide when to start, when to finish or when to have a tea break.
It’s a way of reacting to the surroundings you are placed into at the time.
People are afraid of the 50mm, 35mm or 28mm lenses affixed onto their cameras that are held in their hands with nothing but pride. Camera.Photographer. Film. Street. Moment.
I am personally a fan of “people in public” photographs ... doing their thing and taking a snap, hoping to capture a natural pose or just an ordinary
moment and add it to my collection.
A photograph tells a story and with street photography that story usually remains untold/unknown but never unthought-of – because I made a
photograph to remember it by and perhaps share with others.
I prefer to use black and white film usually at 400 ISO. I prefer a 28mm lens (as I love below the belt) and also like a rangefinder, although an SLR is
fun to use as well.
That’s what it’s all about ... fun.
