I was looking through the 24 II thread yesterday and saw you were very active over there, so it was a pretty educated guess Call me Al Gear Flickr

Well, most of us just can't bring ourselves to be as obnoxious as this guy. He just leaves his inhibitions behind (he says as much "get totally out of myself") and just walks up to strangers and shoves his cameras in their faces and snaps. That'll get you a lot of good photos, but I am not ashamed to say that I'm not willing to do that. Call me Al Gear Flickr

Also its not about getting in peoples faces its about getting images like the one of the guy without that hat, the guy with the hat and the hat on the pole. Its also about getting good compositions and the right light and seeing the moment and then having the right relationship with the equipment to capture the image. Winogrand had that. Thats why he still in the conversation and his work was way above average and in my opinion thats what we should all strive for.

Mookalafalas Cream of the Crop More info | Aug 12, 2011 10:05 | #1132 I like his pictures a lot, and there's no doubt he has a single-minded focus to getting images, and puts everything out of his mind but that goal, which is a key ingredient to reaching the highest level of success....but early on in the film there was a guy who looked like he was debating coming back and giving Winogrand a piece of his mind, or maybe a smack. I'm too thin-skinned to generate that kind of feeling in people. I'm not a journalist. I make my living teaching English. I'm don't want to go that far, even if it is a necessary step in improving at this particular kind of photography... Call me Al Gear Flickr

The bar has been set by the likes of Winogrand, Robert Frank, Cartier Bresson, Friedlander and I find as do most others that street images of just people on the streets are really nothing but average. There has to be more for it to be good. Design elements, humor, action...Again its not about getting in peoples faces its about getting those elements that I just mentioned in the photographs because thats what separates the good from the not so good.

And the images always look like that and seldom have the elements that I mentioned that make up really good street work.
