I do mostly street photography.
When out for “shooting”, I am on my own, a stranger in the crowd. This is especially true when I’m travelling abroad. I don’t look specifically for funny or odd situations, à la Doisneau, but rather I stop at simple human beings who, just like me, seem to be “strangers lost in the crowd”. They might be “locals”, but the expression I see on their face, the feelings their attitude conveys, separate them from the flow.
I am now mostly shooting digital (a former Nikon gear-head, now a happy Fuji X-Pro2 owner) but am still using a medium-format film camera from time to time (a Yashica Mat 124G). Nothing beats the gigantic, luminous real-life viewfinder of this 35 years old film camera.
