Eye Contact
Striving for less eye contact. I’m just a fly on the wall.
Practicing Restraint
I’ve been taking fewer photos lately. Still getting the same amount of keepers though. More selective. I think it comes from realizing what I like to photograph and what not. Finally.
My Favorite Street Photographer…
