What has been written 40 years ago is no longer up to date, as not everything that is said in a course is essential. It's usually good to take some of it, and sometimes you just do not have a chance to find. In this case, I see the people on the street, each with his own problems. Trinity does not matter in street photography, but the moment of triggering, yes, is essential.Catalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01890131780769394637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17947028.post-24904332671507554752018-04-30T09:47:30.960-04:002018-04-30T09:47:30.960-04:00It's interesting that these three are about th...It's interesting that these three are about the same age, same height, same weight, wearing the same kind of clothing (slim leg jeans) and while they could be brothers, each seems to be very much into what he is doing or wherever he is going.
