Some Time Ago VI
Before Covid-19.
Busy every day.
Work.
Rest.
Commute.
Preparation.
Calculate.
Fix.
Gather.
Some Time Ago V
What to do.
We are our environment.
Supplicants.
Covered in light and shadow.
To and fro.
Heavy news every day.
We carry on.
Some more Shamshuipo
I’m still walking around…
The streets are exhibitions waiting to speak.
What would the stall say?
What’s he thinking about?
We’re all concealed by what we buy and sell.
We all buy and sell.
We’re all waiting.
Until it’s all meat…

Walking Around
I have so many posts of the street markets at Shamshuipo.
My only excuse is that things are always changing, and the streets are never the same from hour to hour.
I’d wonder about the kind of life stories people have.
What would we say, if we have had a chance to speak about ourselves to one another?
I’m the guy with the camera who thinks too much.
While someone else is having his siesta.
The streets are so busy.

Street Photography: Film vs Digital
In general, there’re two approaches available for the street photographer who uses both digital and film cameras.
With a digital camera, you could take multiple shots of the same scene.
You could take a shot that you think might not work but do it just to see what happens.
In other words, you could AFFORD to experiment with a digital camera.
With a film camera, you’d tend to be more circumspect.
This means that film photography reveals your competency.
After all, even if you could afford it, a wasted shot is wasted film.
Thanks for reading.

On Looking
Sometimes it is the architecture of the city that teaches us how to look.
We look up.
We look again with a slight change of perspective.
We glance from far away.
A coordinated look.
Look up, look down.
We read.
We wait and read and see.
What does the look want?
The look of friendship.

Art of Immersion
We do our own thing.
We do it easily – this art of immersion within ourselves.
We close down.
Read ourselves.
And this makes a life.
