Advice I would have given myself in street photography, if I started all over again:

In the street photography, do not desire to be in any other city to shoot street photography. Perhaps the best approach is to maximize your own city, to discover how to innovate to shoot your photography in your own city, no matter how boring or unideal it is. William Eggleston is a good example, because he was able to make interesting photos in his very boring city.
A Tip I learned from Daido Moriyama: when you’re walking on the streets, always walk both sides of the street, and also feel free to reverse your walking directions on the same street. Better to milk a few streets a lot, than explore a large distance. For example, better to loop the same block 100 times, than to see 100 different streets once.

Out of all the master Street photographers, I still think Henri Cartier Bresson was the best. Why? He was able to milk every sort of composition possible.

Both black and white and color street photography is fun. I encourage you to experiment with both, and allow yourself to cycle between the two. Eventually you will settle on your preferred aesthetic. For example, when I’ve been bored with black and white Street photography, I picked up color. And eventually after long periods of shooting, I typically revert and settle back to black and white.
To become a More Efficient Street Photographer, and more effective, shoot JPEG not RAW. Shooting JPEG will allow you to shoot more, experiment more, and waste less time on post processing. Also, more megapixels means more problems. Small JPEG is best.
To become a more influential Street photographer, publish your own photos on your own blog, and also make your own YouTube channel. I encourage you to spend 90% of your energy on blogging, and 10% on YouTube.

There is no proper way to pursue a street photography project. For example, it depends on your temperament. For example, you can start off with a big idea and go specific, or you can start specific and go broader overtime. Also, you can start with the theme and shoot it, or you could just shoot without a theme in mind, and discover the theme afterwards. Just experiment.
