July 31st. Street Photography.

The other day I went to my girlfriends art show sort of thing and I found this guy who was like, an amazing photographer? Anyways, his pictures blew my mind. I ended up talking to him a little bit about his pictures and street photography, something I had never really been introduced to.

It sort of inspired me to take pictures of people I didn't know, and on top of that, without asking them. I ended up seeing a good opportunity on BART, as the guy across from me was falling asleep, but I really couldn't build up the courage to put the camera up to my face.

I ended up with a compromise, I didn't look through the viewfinder, but I did take the picture. Hopefully something came out and he definitely didn't notice me. I'd like to give this more of a shot, and I think my holga with some sorta grainy black and white film may be the way to do it. Well, maybe tomorrow I'll have to give it another go.

I'll get this photo up as soon as I can, I've decided to always get CD's with my holga rolls, so it should be relatively soon. Maybe next week.
