If Street Photography focus is the human condition can’t be just one way to do it

There is something running in my head this morning and I am using this photo:

I don't do street photography to get awards.

And I certainly don't do it as a hobby. I am a street photographer because I can afford it. Because for me it is a way of living and understanding the world. If after 15 years I am still here while others have disappeared, there will be a reason. Trends pass, even in photography. Those who have sincere passion remain.

Sometimes I have to hear of people declaring street photography bored me, I do something else, But in practice they are declaring their surrender in front of photography. Perhaps they had expectations that did not correspond to reality. If you get tired of photographing everyday life around then it just means it wasn't a sincere passion. You weren't animated by real interest. Maybe you thought you were making money or becoming famous with street photography. And then, better this way, they weren't right reasons.

Today as yesterday I will be on the street. To photograph.

Exploring a part of me through the observation of the world around. To photograph the virtues of the human. Or to photograph the decline of Western civilization. I don’t know.

Sometimes I find myself photographing in places where the stench of piss and shit assails the nostrils. Other times I find myself in bohemian places. It's all part of the game. Humanity is not just one. I am not just one. The mental state contaminates and expands. I reap bittersweet fruits from my explore. I bleed bits of poetry as I cross the asphalt.
