And so on and so on.
In my opinion the holy grail of street photography is the ability toshoot from the hip.
You know your distance.
Your light.
Your angle of view.
To some it may be the “hail mary” (with reference to American football
and throwing a long long long pass downfield) of photography but to some
who’ve practiced ... it’s a sure thing.
For street photography is almost more about the “covert arts” than it is
anything else.
I’d rather look like a guy on the street. Chillin’.
Perhaps I won’t “get made” as someone making a photograph.
I’d rather people didn’t look at me whilst making photographs.
Maybe in that instant they make eye contact with me I’ll look left or right
like I’m looking at something ...
And pull their eyes away from my own.
And make my photo right at that instant.
Sometimes that works amazingly.
I also think all black equipment is the only way to go.
Make fun of my attempt at illustrating a covert method of photographing
and ... well ... whatever.
