Street photography is…

taking photos of houses.

isn’t everything but it’s nice to have.

I always think the Ricoh is good enough, but then I shoot the Leica. Been using a 50 year old 35mm Summicron on it and it’s fantastic.

La playa 30 minutes after sunset.

Wake up an onion. Sleep a tomato. Wake a tomato. Sleep a tomato. Wake a peeling onion.

Didn’t know and don’t care.

sounds great until it’s not.

I’ll take it over a gloomy day and shoot into the light.

High contrast black and white during golden hour is such a pleasing look.

I used to unclog human shit for a living. That’s my inspiration.
