You may think that I just shoot landscape and houses because that’s all I’ve posted so far on this blog. Yes, I’m drawn into scenes that doesn’t have human present but definitely have human’s mark on it. Maybe because I like the hinted details or the metaphor of human’s present and their impact or just because I’m a big introvert. However, I had chances to take street photos and it’s quite excited I guess. I don’t think street photography is easy, it requires time and lots of exposures, skills and hard work. I know tons of street photographers go out walking for hours every single day to do their job. Fully respect from me for street photographers out there. Street photography is not like landscape or anything I do, you don’t have the time to meter, get your composition right, look for best angle, focus and then re-compose, everything happens in a split second and you have to react in a blink of an eye. However, it’s not all street photos are about capturing those candid moments like that, sometimes you can shoot slower depend on your themes. And I’m the slower shooter type.
I had a day in San Francisco in January this year and I luckily got some street shots that I feel good to share here. They’re quite different from what you usually see from my suburbs or landscape scenes. All were shot with Yashica T4 and Fuji C200. Hope you enjoy!
