The buzz you get from shooting street photography is completely different: there’s no time to stand there to soak up the fresh air (well, the air isn’t that fresh anyway) and contemplate your shot nor is there a planned journey to get your shot. Street shooting is rewarding because you don’t know what you’re going to get until you see it, it’s like a photographic box of chocolates (well, at least that’s probably what Forrest Gump would say). But there’s a whole lot more than just seeing something, because you have to capture it too. Knowing when to press the button and seeing the shot at the end is a great feeling. Henri Cartier Bresson was a complete genius, not just for being such a talented artist, but also for summing up street photography with two words: “decisive moment.” good read (Y)
