I don’t do much street photography. Frankly, street photography makes me nervous. In the back of my mind, I’m always concerned I’ll encounter someone that will take exception to a photographer - and in a confrontational way. When I do photograph in a city, I try to be “small”. I make as little impact as I can to the flow of the scene and finish quickly. All things being equal, I will work a scene in a way to minimize the potential for conflict. Join me this week In the Field in the narrow Pontocho Alley of Kyoto, Japan.

The brilliant light lasted merely minutes… though while it did Valley Of Fire State Park lived up to its name.
