Candid ripples in space-time
An open space for sharing street photography and the stories that come with the practice
@samagraphico
Street photography may seem simple, but there is actually a lot to it and the initial learning curve can take some time.
The first step is to push through the fear, to improve your hand-eye coordination, and to get the general tips down both technically and in how you carry yourself. The next step is to figure out what makes an interesting photograph and to develop your voice.
But the most important aspect through all of this is to have fun and to try to practice frequently, even if it is in short spurts or with a camera phone – this is what will take you to the next level.

I wouldn't be a photographer without my high school photo teacher who did things like force 15 year old kids to go out and shoot street photography.
She introduced me to so many incredible photographers, made me watch John Waters movies and saw me shooting local punk bands and told me this is what I should be doing with my life.
I was running a small punk record label in high school so I applied to colleges as a business major thinking that would be somehow useful, but she used to work at the Chicago Art Institute and sent them my portfolio without telling me and they started trying to recruit me like I was a student athlete. My parents have always been supportive of my career but they really didn't want me going to art school so I didn't even apply to the Art Institute and instead went to Penn State for business. Once I was there I immediately switched my major to photography but their photography program was terrible and I eventually dropped out and went to a state school that had a good photography program (VCU).
All the time I wonder what would have been if I went to one of the top art programs in the country, but I think it worked out pretty well anyway. But when I look back on my high school work I see so much potential. I swear I was a better street photographer then than I am now.

This is from a high school street photography assignment and honestly it's better than any street work I have shot recently.
