Street togging

How do you street tog?

Do you just snap away?

Any funny stories about people you have took photos of?

You try to tell a story.

You observe and record ..socially you provide a record of life as it is in the here and now, the joy and sadness.. poverty and discrimination...etc.

It is not a discipline.

but you know that.

..can I add that telling 'funny stories' on a forum of people whose lives you have dipped into and recorded seems at very least unkind and unethical.

No offence jols.

Agree with Daisy.

Try and look for a story, but try to show a story that the viewer can try to work out.

Comment about the subject in any derogatory way should be avoided. The viewer should make up their own mind.

Dave is so much better than me on this subject and has a keen eye for a people shot but the point is not to create anything that isn't there and to treat the ( often unknowing subject ) with respect.

I reckon anyways.

Agreed

Sometimes you see a shot and sometimes you try to shoot a panda with roller skates

..and both are valid.

but da ever take the piss oota a Panda!

I did not mean about the particular people in a set photo just an off the wall funny story.

GEEZ lighten up.

Oh, there are always funny stories.

Sometimes you "connect" with the subject and sometimes you don't. And if you don't, don't hang around, walk away.

Sorry jols..thought you were being serious ..as if!
