Street photography has been something I felt was on the wane, realistically a dead duck actually.
The balancing act that is exciting exploration vs intrusion and a feeling of stepping over the line of decency has been leaning heavily on the cautious end for me. Street photography has become more “random scenes maybe with people in them”.
A short hop to Melbourne though may have shifted that feeling.
In Japan I felt very much like I was crossing a line, something that on one hand surprised me, but also, maybe not so much. My tastes have been changing, the people of Japan rediscovering their love of respect and privacy.
Light it seems is the key.
Gorgeous, intriguing, generous light.
