I get bored of "perfect" lenses and then spend a lot of time trying to undo all the hard work of lens designers.

Remaining unseen is a crucial skill in street photography, allowing photographers to capture authentic, unguarded moments without influencing the scene. Blending into the environment requires a quiet presence, subtle movements, and often the use of small, unobtrusive cameras. By becoming part of the rhythm of the street—moving with intent, dressing inconspicuously, and avoiding sudden actions—photographers can observe life as it naturally unfolds. This invisibility not only preserves the honesty of the image but also fosters a deeper connection with the moment, where the photographer becomes a silent witness rather than a participant.
