Everyday street photography and talkers

On the internet I happen to read about people who don't have a shred of decent street photography who talk, posing as great connoisseurs, saying how much of street photography is irrelevant. A dude typing on a prompt, generating images with AI and that should say it all…

But we know that taking street photography involves daily struggle. And if someone who talks too much doesn't even have a decent portfolio built up over the years, what does his opinion matter?

Street is hard

And these are my fragments. A continuous urban recital. A poem that takes your breath away. Commemorate existences destined to become extinct. The carnival of death. The jubilee of those who live off.

Life goes on, anyway. The chaos in the streets multiplies in the mind. I walk along ecstatic and cynical. I am made of millions of moments. I chew metropolitan essence.

The real street swallows you up and spits you out. It smells nauseating. It is an uncomfortable bed for the hungry. It's a piece of glass that cuts veins.

The street is not what they tell you.
