The street was not generous enough on that day. I wonder if it was not my best day, as I saw people venting their anger publicly and people becoming more cautious on the camera that slinging on my shoulder.
It’s too bad, because after a while not hitting the street with my camera, I becoming less sensitive on the essence and life revolving around the street. My movement becoming more visible, my route gets me to nowhere and I draw a blank stare on what suppose to be a good framing.
So I decided to do it from the hip level. I let it slinging on my shoulder and press the shutter either with my elbow or my finger. There were no best pictures, but the perspective of shooting from the hip level creates a new vision and ideas which will be useful the next time I’m wandering around the street again.

Sincerely speaking… you might be right. About people or public mindsets to photographer nowdays.Maybe photographers nowdays has lost the commonsenses or an etique of being a real photographer or might be ….. having or just possesing a camera in hand has mad to be a photographer rather than be a genuine photographers.I sometimes lost too…of being good photographer without an etique.
Well written and I admit I am 100% agree with you.
