An exercise in street photography

I must admit I have never been much of a street photographer. I always felt like I was spying on people. Recently, I went out with a photographer friend just for that purpose. I found I enjoyed it. I only took two lenses with me, and both were somewhat unassuming. The lens I used primarily was a 50mm, which is very small.

What I discovered is I talked to a lot of the people I photographed. I was a unique experience even after I spent 30+ years in a career where I spoke to people I didn’t know on a daily basis.

I’m not sure how much true street photography I’ll do in the future, but it will always be an option for me.
