In reply to Lin Zee. I learnt to be patient ! I used to move on too quickly. I try to slow things down. Walk slower, observe, wait... I used to like crowdy places but now, I look for patches of light, with less people. Easier to me to compose. If I find a good spot, I can wait a little for the right character. There has to be a purpose, a nice background or a nice ray of light.

In reply to John Harper.

When I wrote about this article, I had in mind that I might explain how some of my photographs were made. What was the process. As you already know, Street Photography is about failure. And I fail a lot ! Lots of crap and very few good ones. I was lucky for this one.
And yes have to get back to black & white 😉

Yes you nailed it in the end. I guess we all do if we are patient enough. I wonder if no one showed up in red would you come back the next day? The car (Renault) would probably not be there.

I don’t have the patience I move on too quickly I want spontaneity in everything or wanting to spot things on the fly. I have lay in wait several times but probably didn’t have a good game plan to pull it off.

That Seneca was very wise and could have been speaking to all photographers. Investing in a little patience can pay big dividends as we see here. Classic and classy would be the words I use for this final shot.

You have the eye Jeff, the results stand in testament of that fact. Now, stop messing around and get back to Black…and er..White 😉
