In term of photography, I'm still a big naive photographer. I had this impression that photography still
|
|
|
|
|
embraces freedom, the acceptance of unconventional artistic perspective and openness in terms of diversity.
|
|
|
|
|
There are many photo groups on Internet and I decided to upload a photography to a group called street photography.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then something happened, the picture was rejected. Reading the rules, it seems that the definition of street photography

|
|
is more strict than expected. Then I decided to wander around various photography groups which are classified as *street photography*.

What I have seen in these groups with strict rules? A continuous stream of the same thing, a street, some people and that's it.
|
|
|
|
|
So there is at least: two kind of definition of street photography. The one which is only a matter of inventory. But the most
|
|
|
|
|
interesting one in my eyes is the wandering approach where you only expect the unexpected.

Taking your camera and getting lost, I love this. Each second is the beginning of a new world to photograph and sometime without a street and people.
