Jack Simon (*) writes On Street Photography (*):

So when I am shooting spontaneously on the streets, I think it is random events that hit my eye. I might see something interesting and respond to it. Sometimes I know what I got, sometimes I think I got something good, but don’t. Sometimes it is a total surprise. I might take a photo of something very quickly, without being quite sure of everything going on. And in the editing process I can discover interesting things.

Joel Meyerowitz (*) talks about Street Photography (*):

when people gather on the corner, you never know if something is going to happen.

He is right. Every time I stand at a corner, there is always something going on. This is my favourite corner not far from my workplace.The camera is in my pocket so it always comes out around here.

The above quote from the video by Joel Meyerowitz has been quite formative and has helped inspire me to take a lot of photos at this intersection (*) and elsewhere.
