Thanks...

Heres one of the truly great street photographers. Him along with Bresson, Robert Frank, Meyerowitz, Davidson are the best.

Heres Winogrand, Some stuff of him working on the street.

One more, stay with it. Its an hour long but it really get goods about 14 min. in. The words Joel speaks are so true about you can't be just a visitor to the streets and be good.

Thanks for the links.. Will check them out.

Train stations are awesome for shooting, and all of those are in or around one. Shinjuku (the most used station in the world, by some accounts) in #1 and #3, and Yoyogi (next one over) in #2. There's a running joke (even amongst Japanese) that they can sleep anywhere...even standing up. They do it all the time on the trains!

Here's three from London.

So many awesome shots here! I got a question for you street photogs out there. I'd like to get into street photography a little more but was wondering how you guys carry your gear.

I have a medium size and a smaller shoulder bag which would carry everything I need. Obviously I would go with the smaller bag but do you guys just hold a camera in your hand with a shoulder bag on you? Do you just take a camera and on lens on a strap (no bag)?

I ask because I had my retrospective shoulder bag on one day while out and about, and my 5Dii on a Rapid Strap ALSO on my shoulder but it felt a little crowded that way. How do you guys "carry"?

What's to carry? I carry everything I need, my camera. Don't need a bag.

Well I would at least like to have the 50mm AND 85mm.

Since you just carry your camera, what lens do you usually have on it? And do you have your camera on a neck strap? Sling (like a rapid strap)? Hand strap? Or naked maybe?

18-135 and a shoulder strap. I really like that lens, nice and sharp and way versatile.

This one is very nice with the framing and light falling on the subject there.

I hope to take a side trip to Cambodia if things ever fall into place and I can get back to Thailand in this lifetime.
