I am excited to share that I added a new workshop to my schedule: my first charity-based (pay what you can) workshop in Detroit with Brian Day (May 10-11th). 100% of the proceeds will be going to charity. I hope this will be a great way for street photography to give back to the community. You can see more info and register here.

Eric’s Note: Mat Thornton is a 41 year old freelance designer and art director based in sunny Manchester, UK. I first stumbled upon his work in a Hardcore Street Photography thread, and was impressed by his strong graphical form and subtle use of color. Not only that, but how much of his street photography is quiet and doesn’t involve much people. Check out this brief interview with him below, and see some of his superb color work.

I recently finished a book titled: “Mastery” by Robert Greene. The book is one of those inspirational books which outlines the stories of many famous masters and how they gained mastery. Although the book was a bit cheesy at times, I still found it to be an uplifting read, filled with interesting anecdotes that definitely gives you a huge kick in the ass to go out and to “discover your life task.”

I want to share some of the lessons I’ve learned from the book– and how one can plan to use some of the author’s advice to gain mastery in street photography. Certainly following these steps won’t necessarily cause you to gain mastery, but I certainly think it is a great blueprint.

3 Reasons Why You Should Shoot with One Camera and One Lens

by Eric Kim on April 19, 2013

Manila, 2013

Eric’s Note: This article was first published on the CSLR blog, but I am reposting it here in-case you didn’t have the chance to read it yet! 

I first got introduced to photography when I was 18 years old. At my high school graduation ceremony, my mom gave me a little Canon Powershot point-and-shoot. I never considered photography before in my life, but I was amazed by the power I now held in my hands.

I had the power to capture life around me — to photograph those fleeting moments and make them eternal through my camera.

Street Photography Camera Game-Changer: The Ricoh GRD V

The new Ricoh GRD V (or just the “GR”)

There are a few cameras that make me excited. The Ricoh GR-series are one of them.

Ricoh has an almost cult-like following in Japan (and all around the world) for its compact size and versatile functionality. In-fact, Daido Moriyama (one of Japan’s most famous photographer) uses the GR-series cameras exclusively (he used to shoot black and white film, and now digital GR’s). Frankly, I haven’t met a single street photographer who doesn’t like the camera.
