079 - Street Corners

Winter is a great time to go out with a camera, especially early in the morning - the combination of clean light, no leaves, and, in this case, people trying to stay warm, makes for some interesting ideas. You do not need a large camera, or expensive lenses, the most important thing is to look at the world and not photograph the first thing that comes to mind.

Things that come to mind first are primarily things placed there by society and are not your own thinking. Because these ideas come from society, they appear in most people's heads as first thoughts too. So, learn to resist those first thoughts, and instead keep on looking and experimenting. You will get there, but it just might just take some time.
