Pix of the Week.



When it comes to street photography I rarely know what pictures I'm going to make ahead of time. It can get pretty boring and diminish the unpolished and unique view of one's personal perspective when one knows the end result of an image. The beauty of photography is that at times it can allow one to let their inner true self, or subconscious out in the open. Whether you're aware of it or not, it's a direct connection to the mind's eye just below the surface of consciousness. In being conscious of what's right in front of you and keeping an open mind one can stay in touch with ones own sense of creative self expression. I have found this works best when one does not hesitate at all to pull the trigger when they feel something interesting is happening or is about to happen. Being completely free from any sense of result and it the same time being completely aware of the present moment is when the magic happens.
