What if there are no people in the shot? What about all the shots that have lots of people and buildings in them? Which is it? Don't kid yourself. That's street photography, and it's good.

Yup, those are pretty cool. People, on the streets, just looking at the camera. Good stuff. Almost makes me want to live in NYC. Do you approach and ask to take their photo, bam, done?

Went to New Orleans last week.   Link to set. I went nuts with the zone system last week, I'm very pleased with the results. I have a few more frames to shoot on a roll of Tri-X then I'll see how that went. I never thought I'd become displeased with the image quality of the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8, but here I am, unhappy. The distortion is very hard to correct and very apparent when shooting subjects like the first two frames. I like to think the composures are strong enough despite the distortion, though.

Wiki on zone system. It basically assigns exposure values to "zones" and focuses on visualizing a final print and getting a correct exposure to allow for adjustment in development and printing. It's specifically for use with black and white negatives using individual development, but it has applications everywhere. It was Ansel Adams's and Fred Archer's baby. Adams's book "The Negative" is great for learning about it. And thank you!

We'll never know how he actually reacted to people. I'm betting he probably could have been more personable, despite what he says. I was out taking photos in rural Oklahoma yesterday. I stopped off to take a photo of a farm house. As I was packing up a lady drove by very slowly and I met her eye. She smiled and I smiled back. Then she turned around and drove back by as I was about to get in the car. She asked "So what are you doing around here," very politely. I said I was just taking photos, I live in OKC. She asked if I was was the census. I played dumb and said "No mam, I'm not doing a survey." She said she knew the people who owned the house and just wanted to see what was going on. I said to tell her friends they had a nice house and friendly horses. By that point she was tired of the conversation and said goodbye. Just be nice, even if the person addressing you is not. Start talking about photography and random poo poo; even in the country where people talk about corn and rodeos for hours they'll decide "Eh okay, he's not doing anything, now I need to get away before he keeps talking." Giving terse answers and seeming skittish gives them time to wonder about what you're up to and what you might do with your photos. Yes yes it's your right whatever. Feel uppity and smug about your knowledge of the law on the internet. Be nice when you're shooting. If it gets serious (cops bring out the cuffs), just get a lawyer. e: and if someone is being abusive and yelling, leave. Come back later.
