Consequence #6: You become addicted and obsessed to going out every day and/or night and just like a tiger that once eats human flesh craves it more than any other meat-street photography becomes the meat and bones of your photography, and sure you can have a salad (doing other kinds of photography) every once in a while-but it’s not the same kind of thrill of the hunt.
@@WORDONTHESTREETphoto Thank you, I’ve been doing street photography since 1971-back when Times Square was gritty and policemen patrolled Central Park in the evenings 3 in car-the addiction is still going strong-I’ve slowed down a bit do to age, but still hit the streets if not daily then at least three or four times a week.🙂.
@@WORDONTHESTREETphoto Yes, Times Square was gritty AF-the peep show houses, ladies of the evening and their Johns and pimps, the tweakers and junkies, the winos and homeless, and tourists all mixing and mingling together and interacting-talking, laughing, fighting and screaming in the day and into the long nights. The rookie cops trying to keep some semblance of order while the older tired cops intervening when the situation got rougher. A photographer’s paradise that could easily become a fuel nightmare if one overstepped the invisible boundaries put in place by a surreal movie set with characters seemingly plucked from central casting-you would have loved being there.
Consequence #6: you will get new friends, and partake in a very welcoming community. At least I did when I started a street photo community in 2021 here in Oslo, Norway. We have regular meetings once a month and around four photo walks a year. Each time 30-50 people show up. We also arranged a street photo festival for the first time about a month back. I went from walking alone on the streets with my camera and browsing social media, to meeting new people every month (where many are from a different country and do not speak the language), sharing prints rather than social media browsing, and to having people greet and stop you in the streets for a quick street photo chat before getting back into shooting again.

That’s so amazing and positive! I’ll look up your festival cheers
Consequence 6: if you shoot street on film. Your local film lab will love you 😂
Thanks for stimulating the economy
My bad photos galore take up my disk space a lot. Lol.
🤣 hey at least you have an iconic image. 99% of ppl don’t have that so I think it’s well worth it ahha
awesome
To be fair, if you go take photos in the wild you might get eaten by a komodo dragon... or a hyena... or something with sharp sharp teeth
🤣
