In Street Photography, you only have 1% chance of getting a good photo. In spite of your technical and theoretical skills, only a percent of a hundred is your best chance. In this note, a photographer must go out of his comfort zone and take as much photographs as possible. Document life in our time and record history through his lens. Even the masters are always on the road and streets, almost everyday, because we can't just rely on luck.
A good photograph has to be made and doing this requires hard-work and dedication.
Theory and practice are distinct but not separate.
Know your shit, talk about it but make sure to do it.
Because you have to create 100 photos in order to get a good photograph. - mzs
