People are curious critters, you never know what they're going to do. With street photography there's usually not much chance of a do-over, so you just have to shoot first and try to figure out what's happening afterwards.
Sometimes you never figure it out. We'd went wandering in search of the only remaining United States Marine Hospital and found it hiding, half forgotten and neglected, behind some chain link fence. Still not sure why this dude was twirling a broomstick as he walked but I had to shoot him when he walked into my shot.
As we were walking back the last thing we were expecting to see was somebody selling cotton candy. The only thing in the direction they were heading was a few crumbling buildings, the interstate, and the Ohio River, so I still have questions as to who they were planning on selling it to.
Sometimes all you can do is shoot because they won't let you ask the questions. Does raise the question of 'if the news don't cover it, did it even happen?'
If a car cruises by and you take photos of it, does that count as a drive by shooting? Asking for a friend. The only problem with shooting first and asking questions later is that you end up with a bunch of photos and even more questions but not much in the way of answers.
C'est la vie. @dandays is this how you get all your proud pet parent photos?
Oh I see, take a shot at a one-legged guy when clearly you shot a Jabbawockee rehearsal.
Jabba the what? I thought Carrie Fisher put an end to that a long time ago.
Wall ollie.
Tony Hawk better watch out!
Your title...Applied that a few times. 🤔
I bet you have, in even more interesting conditions.
The things you see when you don't have a gun...
...are almost as interesting as the things you see when you do have a gun. Fortunately there's not nearly as much of that around here these days.
Even better when you have a camera
I love the final result with the reflection of the person's face in the window, and the cyclist looking back... I wonder what was going on back there? More intriguing than the cotton candy seller's choice of area... Ahahah
Shoot first... ask latter, right? So many questions
So the person who's reflection you see in the window was also riding a bike, was trying to set up a shot where you had a mismatch between the cyclist you could see and the reflection in the window but things went awry. Never was able to figure out what they were looking at or what exactly happened but I liked the result anyway.
Right! I think that's part of the fun of street photography, the more you look the more questions you have :D
I love how you share pictures of people’s actions each day
It gives me an insight to what your lives look like over there
I think that's part of the beauty of street photography, seeing what people's 'normal' is and how much it varies from place to place.
Cool initiative
You took the photo, then you think about how it all evolves.
Thank you for sharing these incredible shots with the community
