I'm glad you found it interesting. It's helpful to write about such
stuff, I think.The experience of street photography is pretty
powerful in and of itself, as a way of projecting yourself in the
world, leaving aside the photographs.
The piece of my post you quote below is a good example. I think this
may be why street photography interests me. You can't really control
it. In order to impress your vision on the pictures you make you need
to give yourself over to unconscious forces, mysterious agencies. I'm
definitely in the non-previsualisation camp!
I've been giving the picture postings a pass here, so far, just as an
arbitrary way of dealing with the quantity of posts, but I'll have to
give it a look one of these days.

Hi Alan
thanks for some more insight into your ideas and working style, it was an
interesting reading for me.
I'm looking forward to see some of your "painter's pole photos" here as PESO
;-)
That would be interesting...
greetings
Markus
I'm
pretty well committed to a work process that leaves lots of room for
chance. By leaving the visual selection till after the fact I
increase the possibilities of fortuitous accident.
