I recently quit my job at a photography studio after working there for a month. Certainly, a month is not a long time to work somewhere and really isn't a long enough time to learn all you need to know about a profession; but it is long enough to realize if that's something you want to do. The work at that studio wasn't bad, but it was rushed and felt impersonal to me. That is not what I want to do. BUT, I do want to say that there is beautiful work that comes from there and that there are plenty of good and fond memories that are made and captured there day by day. Studio photography can be very beautiful and deep. It's just not what speaks to me.
To make short what could be long and tedious to read, I am beginning this blog to share my journey in to street photography. I'll go out at least once a week to photograph the city in which I live and throughout the week I'll share the photos with you with excerpts about the day/person/experience.
Also, I'm leaving you with a link to a video about one of my favorite photographers. (It's the link in the first sentence of this post.)
His name is Brandon Stanton and he runs the highly successful blog Humans of New York.
He's easily the most inspiring person I can think of when it comes to this kind of work.
Anyway, enjoy the video! I'm looking forward to next time.
Sarah
