[Leica] A few thoughts on street photography

[lluisripollphotography]

Jayanand,

I agree

Some time ago I’ve saw the work of a photographer, the pictures was interesting but I disagree the methodology he followed. He went on the street and shoot, shoot, shoot … the pictures had no definition, nothing! and when he saw that some one could represent something he worked on this one. The reason because I disagree is because this is a casual creation, inconscient creation, the painter can create abstract forms but he is doing it according his will.

Cheers
Lluis
