I went into the city the other day to take a bunch of shots, but I feel like I didn't go in with a specific enough plan of what I wanted to shoot. The result was that seeing as I live in the sticks, I got stimulus saturation real quick and just started snapping shots of everything: architecture, landscape, abstract, and a few shots of people too. What do you guys do regarding planning/checklists before a shoot? Do you find it helpful to have a short checklist of shots you want, or do you just set out with "shots of interesting people" in mind? Anyway, pics:

Thanks, that's useful stuff about pre-selecting framing and sites. I wouldn't normally take photos of homeless people, for the record, and probably won't again. In fact, I think I'll remove that photo - thanks for the reality-check. I did give that guy some cash afterwards and thanked him for being such a good sport, and one of the photographic regrets I'll carry to my grave is that I didn't think to have the camera ready to catch his reaction. The smile he gave me was the most wonderful, most unscripted, most genuinely human expression I've ever seen, and I would have loved to have captured that as a way of showing his humanity to a wider audience. That one smile made me seriously consider a project of getting to know some of these rough sleepers and street-living people and trying to capture and share their humanity and stories, but I live a long way from the city, and I suspect that's a project of ambition well beyond my current abilities to pull off tastefully and non-exploitatively...

I love this, it's super dreamy in a high-concept sci-fi flick kind of a way...
