<\/p>\n

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t try to be clever.<\/p>\n

Shoot directly. Photograph what is on your mind. Photograph what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re experiencing.<\/p>\n

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t censor yourself. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hesitate. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry whether the photograph will be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153good\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or not. Just react.<\/p>\n

Use the simplest technical settings possible on your camera. If you see anything that interests you, just click. You can always delete it later.<\/p>\n

What if for a month you clicked whenever you found something interesting? What if you had no mental blocks in your photography? What if you shot your mind directly, without self-censorship or self-judgement?<\/p>\n

I think this would allow you to be the photographer you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always wished you could.<\/p>\n

This is something I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m also going to try out \u00e2\u20ac\u201d let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s experiment together.<\/p>\n

See you on the streets,
