\/><\/p>\n<p>Big thanks to\u00c2\u00a0Alexander Amy, for writing this honest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01K5ISDZU\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=erikimstrpho-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01K5ISDZU&amp;linkId=3fbcc6358a1e8d4cde3b872afb2d0b59\">review of Street Notes on Amazon<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been a big fan of Eric&#8217;s and an avid follower of his blog for several years, having initially stumbled upon it looking for gear reviews when buying my first camera. If you&#8217;re not familiar, Eric is a street photographer and teacher, who, over the past five years or so, has used his blog as a medium to educate and empower aspiring \u00e2\u20ac\u0153streettogs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by sharing the practical (technique-oriented) knowledge he has gained during his career, as well as distilled lessons from his studies of the masters of the genre and his own uplifting, well-considered musings on life and philosophy. If you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t already, do yourself a favor and check it out; it is a vast reservoir of insights that will accelerate your development as a photographer and one of the few \u00e2\u20ac\u0153professional\u00e2\u20ac\u009d blogs out there that isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t constantly jamming ads or product links down your throat.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done a couple photography workshops over the years, including PhotoUno\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s introductory \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Digital Photography I\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in NYC (12 hours over six Saturdays for ~$600) and Eric Kim\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s advanced \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Discover Your Unique Voice in Street Photography\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in LA (~24 hours over three days for ~$500). While I found each to be extremely valuable in my evolution as a photographer and would recommend either to anybody in a heartbeat, something I realized is that one of the best parts about attending workshops is that they simply force you to go out and shoot, because for me, sustaining that drive and inspiration to practice photography in my regular life is one of the biggest challenges I face as a non-professional photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Street Notes is the antidote to this all-too-common complaint. By providing a library of well-structured assignments designed by an experienced photographer\/teacher, Street Notes essentially serves as an intermediate-to-advanced workshop-in-your-pocket for multiples less than what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d pay for a live course. And, if used in conjunction with Eric\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blog, the only thing Street Notes does not provide versus the traditional workshop model is a live critique following assignment completion.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get me wrong, nothing can ever replace the experience of a really good workshop or face-to-face critique, but for $20 Street Notes is worth every penny. Just chuck it in your camera bag (its well-made and can stand up to a beating) and any time you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in need of motivation shoot, just bust it out and complete one of the assignments (and let the social media machine do its thing if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re really driven by peer review).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8211; Alexander Amy<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Learn more about Keenan Rivals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"41825\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/03\/keenan-rivals-takes-street-notes-to-the-streets\/keenan-rivals-12-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/keenan-rivals-12.jpg?fit=2000%2C1327&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1327\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"keenan-rivals-12\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/keenan-rivals-12.jpg?fit=800%2C531&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-41825\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/keenan-rivals-12-800x531.jpg?resize=800%2C531\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/keenan-rivals-12.jpg?resize=800%2C531&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/keenan-rivals-12.jpg?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/keenan-rivals-12.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Keenan below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/11\/showcase-your-process-interview-with-keenan-rivals-from-detroit\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Showcase Your Process: Interview with Keenan Rivals from Detroit&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.keenanrivals.com\/journal\" target=\"_blank\">Website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/RIVALSvs\/videos\" target=\"_blank\">Youtube<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/street-photography-101\/\"><strong>Learn more: Street Photography 101 &gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The passionate street photographer Keenan Rivals took Street Notes to the streets.
