STREET NOTES:
Your street photos are dope.
Even if you live in a boring city, don’t mope
Just play in the streets; be a misanthrope.
Always get ready before the decisive moment.
When you see something good, just shoot it and ignite it.
How do you always stay inspired?
Easy: be a photography liar.
Lie with your photos by showing your own subjective vision
Your inspiration will thus never die; you’re creatively risen
From the dead
Henri Cartier-Bresson, give us our daily photo bread.
Never forget that you’re a STREET GOD
give a nod to the masters who came before you,
But see them likes your guides, you’re not their slave.
You gotta pave your own street photo way.
If you feel fear, take a step forward.
Your fear is your slave, not your lord.
Slip the noose and the chord from your neck, shoot to eat, your visual breakfast.
Wear your camera always like a bracelet or necklace
And don’t worry about getting paid
Know your self worth as a photographer, you’re self-made.
Shoot from your gut, not your brain.
Everyday keep slaying
That dragon of self-doubt
My friend, you’re a street photography genius
I really mean this.
You have a unique passion,
And way of seeing
So keep on believing
And scheming
Shine your inner light
Keep your camera close at hand, and always hold it tight.
You got this.
BE STRONG,
ERIC
