We Are All Photographers? - Jorg Colberg (Mon 23 Jun 2014)

Take an Inspiring Picture - George Street / Sydney (Mon 21 Oct 2013)
Jorg Colberg (*) writes On Photography (*):

We’re all photographers now. Or are we? [..]

Let’s assume that we are not all photographers. If that is the case, here’s the crucial question: what is it that photographers do that those who occasionally or regularly photograph don’t do? [..]

What is it then that separates the photographers from all the rest of us? I think it’s aspirations. Ambition (*).

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.

Hand - George Street / Sydney (Thu 14 Mar 2013)
Ken Johnson (*) writes on Street Photography (*):

The camera gazes at all with the same equanimity and finds each person, in his or her own way, dignified, lovable and even beautiful. Walking, the most democratic form of transportation, lends itself to metaphor: we walk into the future, we walk the line, we walk the walk.
