We seldom take great pictures. You have to milk the cow a lot and get lots of milk to make a little piece of cheese. - Henri Cartier-Bresson

Clearly there is a huge difference between a project about 'London's West End' and one about 'Female Circumcision in Africa'....and this is what makes me nervous about this discussion, it has always been the lack of a subject that has in many ways separated the street photographer from the photojournalist or reportage photographer. The main difference is that the street images are much more spontaneous, surprising and unexpected because of the very fact that the photographer was not mentally editing his subject matter as he went along, he was simply reacting to quickly changing circumstances.-Nick Turpin

I first took up photography as a hobby in 2003, and I hv been hooked since. Started off with dabbling in landscape but I have since settled down with street photography!

Street photography is the genre I like the most, I got hooked on photography after stumbling upon the late Henri-Cartier Bresson shots in the web. I like the spontaneity and unpredictability of it. You never know what you get when you walk along the streets, and at times it’s akin to fishing where you need to have patience, waiting for “the fish to bite” and the right scene appearing before your eyes. I take nearly all kinds of street photos, but I don't do "requested portraits". Close to 99% of my street shots are taken without any interaction with the subjects, as I believe that this is the "truest" form of street photography
