Response to "Street Photography"

from joe rizzuto (rizworks@junctionnet.com)
i love street shooting, plain and simple. i started with a cheap slr many years ago and graduated to one of my favorite set ups - a minolta cle with all 3 lenses. i now use a mamiya 6. someone above mentioned becoming part of the furniture - great suggestion - i tend to stay put in one place for awhile - sitting or standing - and after a bit - it's like i become invisible - this works great especially at an 'event' type situation where there are lots of people milling around - but it also works at bus stops, in parks and most other places. part of my photo - hobby also involves volunteer shooting at the local (edmonton, alberta, ca.) folk festival and the blues festival. not only can't you be shy at pointing your camera at the crowds or individuals but i also need to catch those ' decisive moments' that the performers may find themselves in. while i also like my privacy , i really like getting the shot too. if it doesn't go against any deep personal values or beliefs - i say point your camera at what excites or moves you and let time and practise take its course - you will get used to it.
