Project 13 | Week 12

So far, many sites have posted about indoor photography projects for rainy doors. To me rainy days are great opportunity for taking street photos, especially when you are shy about going up close to people. Most people are running towards shelter or in a rush to get under one, even when they have an umbrella. A lone photographer standing and shooting in the middle of a rainy street is almost invisible.

Is there a difference between shooting and seeing? To me, shooting is the mechanical task checking of your camera setting, setting the exposure and pressing the shutter.  Seeing is about realizing that a great photo is right in front of you, unfolding or waiting to happen. Magnum greats shoot differently. Garry Winogrand,  burn through numerous rolls of films in a short period of time. Henri Cartier-Bresson wait for the decisive moment. The technique of shooting is a matter of personal style, but the art of seeing is universal.
