During the past few weeks, for one reason or another, I have been experiencing what I call "photographer's block." Which is my version of Writer's Block. Desperate to shake it off, I took to the streets with minimal gear and with the intention to try photographing using a different technique. I was surprised by the results. Although most the photos are not good, what surprised me is how receptive I was to the street after this exercise. With practice, the technique used in this video could deliver great results. But as a "warm up" exercise, it was just what I needed.
If you've felt like me, watch this video and it may help you too.

Life as a Street Photographer's Camera
The story between my Canonet QL17 GIII camera and myself is pretty long. However, I've really come to enjoy shooting this camera. About a month ago, I turned my video camera around and recorded what I call "Reverse POV" during one of my street photography outings.
It was fun to see the footage so I'd thought I'd share it with you guys.

S02EP2 | Street Photography: Approaching People (YouTube Video)
The number one question I get asked about street photography is "How do I approach people?"
Well, that's a difficult question to answer. The answer varies depending on the person asking it. Some people have no problem approaching people and photographing them. Others are embarrassed
or afraid to photograph someone without their permission.
Over the months, I've devised a set of questions that I ask myself while photographing people on the street.
On this video I discuss beginner techniques on approaching people while doing street photography.

Street Photography Gear
New to Street Photography? On this video I talk about my gear. But please note that gear is not important. Any point and shoot camera will work. However, a camera is a tool and as such, sometimes you need the right tool for the job at hand. On this video I talk about both film and digital cameras, my bag and other gear. Sit back and enjoy.
