Street photography is the side of life that documents humanity and captures candid everyday life in public spaces, such as city streets, parks, and markets, though not necessarily within a street setting.

What are your thoughts about street photography, the side of life that is about documenting everyday life and society? It is generally done candidly, not necessarily only in the street, but done anywhere there are people and activity.

Do it at the train station, airport, mall, beach, or park, while commuting, waiting for your dental appointment, lining up at the grocery store counter, or in any other public place.

The ultimate? Capture the essence of the moment, emotion, humanity, and all.

If you are starting out fresh, there are plenty of resources available on the internet on how to get started, how to weave your way through life on the street, and how to set yourself up with the right camera and lenses.

Draw and learn from the sources listed here, and give yourself the courage to do it right.
