I'll be honest...

I'll be totally honest with you,
This is probably the first time I've sat in front of a PC since my last post on here.
What I'm trying to say is, I've done bugger all revision yet. ALTHOUGH!!! I have been very productive, in the sense that, I've got put some Film in my Camera and gone out pestering the public.

The more I'm getting into this whole Street Photography vibe, the more I'm beginning to understand the How much patience is needed for it.
For example. The cover of Street Photography Now, this couldn't have been a planned Image (unless of course, the Pigeon was stuffed and used as a prop)

It's simply an idea in someone's head and the patience to allow the image fall together. Plus a finger on the pulse.

Now I'm not saying all Street Photography is approached this way. Some Artists prefer to jump in, quickly take the picture and get straight out of there. From what I gather, this is more of a 'hit and hope' approach. Taking lots of pictures and potentially getting lots of them wrong. Whether it be focus, poor composition or quite simply. The subject just doesn't look right in the Photo.

THERE'S NO CORRECT OR INCORRECT WAY!!!!
