Street photography is a process of examining in detail the area you find
yourself attached to. I use the word-attached -meaning that it is an area
you are familiar with and gravitate to on a regular basis.
Street photography is an urban adventure -you turn a corner and people and
faces emerge to greet you. Your eyes work quickly and you quickly move in
with camera in hand to capture the scene. If you have preset your camera
settings -you only have to observe, isolate your subject, quickly shoot and
move on.
I approach it with the understanding that I am not photographing a place
but rather the people that occupy this space. So my basic approach is to
move in as close as allowable to capture the faces that I find lurking in
the space I call Exit270.
