It is not my comfort zone. You don't get to see my electron recycling bin... Thanks to digital, I'll be sharing 16 out of about 300. I find it really an art to get street, candid pictures of any quality consistently. For this I used the Winogrand method, shoot and shoot.
I've been shooting this for about 8 years now. I don't get to move around like the credentialed photos. I have been working to get a decent location, I like the outside of a bend in the route and get there a bit early. This year I lugged a step stool. I would like to be able to shoot up at some and down a bit but in the mob it is hard.
I also tried to get shots showing more direct interaction with children. Not successful this year.

The next group will all be taken with flash.
