    What I like about this is that John doesn't conform to any standards. He just enjoys photography. I feel that.

    It was nice to see John shooting with his X-T3 and using the flip out screen for framing in exactly the same way as I use mine. It’s a very practical means of capturing street images.

    Best one yet, learned so much that photography is as much about getting off your couch to shoot and getting on your couch to look at books.

    Really appreciate you featuring a digital shooter. I love this series and am rewatching ~ but I was starting to think that many of the street photog community may not accept digital as valuable or real. Would love to see any other digital shooters featured in the future. Also loved all the book recommendations from John and the flash shots. Thank you as always Paulie 🙏✌️

  • @Timoleon87
    @Timoleon87 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Love this, I use exactly the same technique. Love the low angle candid look. And if you want to be ultra sneaky you can use the touch screen for shooting and don't wven use the shutter button, it just looks like you fiddling with the settings.

  • @patrickjclarke
    @patrickjclarke Před rokem +2

    This was a fun one, and John, even at the ripe old age of 100 (j/k) can still keep up with the teenagers. I loved seeing him use his Fuji in that way for street. I have an old Samsung NX3000 with that kind of tilt-screen, and paired with the 20mm pancake it's very stealthy for street. I still like using the optical RF in my Leica more...looking thru the RF I feel...more engaged in the environment if that makes any sense

    Those fountain photos were hilarious. I remember way back before I knew what I was doing with my camera, this homeless lady came up to me and pulled them thangs out. Said “take a picture of these”. I missed the shot of course, but it’s a funny memory to have.
