Hi. I am just an amateur photographer and started to develop an interest in street photography. Unlike landscape or posed portrait where you can duplicate the shots, street photography only gives you a split second decision to make or break an image. My favorite line was from one of my favorite photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson:-

 

"There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative, "Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever."

 

Note: I normally do not believe in censors but recently I have found that many members in flickr like to add our picture's as their favorites but at the same time they do not have any images posted. I have since block those flickr members because I believe if you want to link our picture in your favorite stream at least share out yours first.

Thomas Chai says, "Beautiful shot lies in the hand of the photographer and his luck, but powerful image lies in the hand of post-processing and the eyes of the beholder"
