For what does a street photographer do but walk and watch and wait and talk, and then watch and wait some more, trying to remain confident that the unexpected, the unknown, or the secret heart of the known awaits just around the corner." This reflects very much what I think of street photography: a street photographer is an observer that has the ability to catch what unfolds in front of his eyes and what will be recognized as something unique by others. I don't see what his own emotion has to do with that. Sensibility and receptiveness, yes, but that is not entirely the same, is it?
