Photos and workflow

The management of the experience on the street includes a total struggle in looking for the best solution to obtain as many good photos as possible. And then you try, review choices, change.

You have to take into account what type of photographer you are. Because not everything works for everyone. And if you make a choice it can be valid for certain things and decidedly less so for others. And so you find yourself thinking what might work best, and what you can give up considering it tolerable.

The photographer I am is thanks to this mutability.

The Daoist text, the Tao Te Ching, emphasizes living in harmony with this constant flux. This means being adaptable and flexible, like water that can take any shape.
