How Street Photography Improves Your Life

A life with street photography is a better life. Why? My thoughts:

1. More social interactions

  • street photography cover eyes portrait

Street photography allows you to become more social. To interact with others more. This is good!

To be human is to be social. I would say most of the difficulty and existential dread of COVID is because the lessening of social interactions. The more we socially interact, the more sharp we are, the happier we are, and also the more creatively productive we are!

2. A reason to live.

CUBA, 2020

Street photography offers more hope and optimism in life! The hope and future of travel, new experiences, and a new epic world. Perhaps a future of traveling to CUBA (again), Tokyo, Hanoi, Mexico City, Saigon, etc.

Optimism and the future– street photography affords us this!

3. Art production

Street photography is your art. Never forget that.
