At this
juncture, I don’t think of myself a street photographer. I’m not all that good
at shooting from the hip (though I’ve improved a lot in the last year) and
things have to be a bit internally off-center, in order for me to start
pointing my lens at random strangers. More to my style is shooting objects and
vistas--what I call the “urban landscape;” photos devoid of people or I’ll set
up a shot and wait to see if a serendipitous figure will appear.
On the flip
side, some things just get in my face and cry out to be recorded on film. Like
so many photos, I barely remember taking this one and I have no conscious
memory of the young woman with the rather indignant look on her face. While I
was editing it, I also noticed that her fist is clenched.
