Just wanted to thank you for having written all this. It's more than inspirational because since I've only started on my photographic experience I stumble upon so many questions and insecurities, some of which I now have answers to. :D And yes, I'm in the same situation as j.u. - almost 3am and I can now go to sleep, having finished reading. And it's not treacly at all! It feels honest and passionate. So...thank you for the lessons and have a great summer! Hi!

Branching out from landscapes to more streetscapes that include people is my goal. I just bought a canon g9 to be less conspicuous, and lighten the weight, sometimes my dslr can be overkill. Lots of great information here. Keep up the good work. Hi, this site is great, stumbled across it looking at expanding my photo awareness.

I started photographing in the street this summer, whilst on holiday, and I'm still finding my style and confidence, this is just what i needed.

Thanks for taking the time to write all this. It should be required reading for anyone interested in street photography. I don't think enough can made about camera size. I feel absolutely conspicuous with my 30D, no matter what lens is on it, so I rarely use it for street. I'm using a bessa-r right now, but there are so many cheap rangefinder options out there that are fantastic. Plus it's film! And while I have no ties to this site, it's invaluable for rangefinder lovers, and there's a lot of street shooters on it: www.rangefinderforum.com. What a great essay.

When I go back and read this stuff (never, except tonight, right now) it makes me grimace a bit. It was heartfelt when I wrote it -- now it reads treacly. Glad the point is still in there somewhere. My feeling is if you feel like a tourist in your town, it just means that you're continuing to see things in new ways. That's not a situation that needs to be improved. Stick with it! Thanks, Jon.
