Street, patience and a delightful DD surprise!

Thank you for this honor, Batgirl and Mary.




Sometimes in street photography you find your location, your setting and then you wait. You wait for the right moment or the right person or the right something to appear. There might be several 'right ones' and you can also miss your opportunities, your position might be unoptimal, your reflexes might fail you, your camera might fail you or a thousand other things might go wrong.

Street photography is often a fast reaction to something that you see but it is also about persistance and patience. On February Challenge at The Yard Collective the theme is SINS but I also would like to emphasize the importance of virtues as well, of which PATIENCE is one very important virtue. This DD-awarded shot 'Headache' didn't born by accident (well partly, of course it did but..) but by being patient and waiting for that 'right one'.



Have patience, my fellow street shooters.
