Matt Stuart made this great comment, paying respect to the legendary photographer Gary Winogrand. To paraphrase, Matt points out that in Winogrand’s compositions, there is a choreography, as you can see people’s feet moving. A still image that strongly suggests motion is one of my markers of a good photo on a roll, and something I continue to aspire to.
Sydney CBD is relatively a walkable city, which is an advantage for me. I move through and amongst people; occasionally, they become subjects, but there is a pleasure in walking, whether I take a photo or not. The French describe this practice as that of a flâneur, a city wanderer, which feels apt in my case. Being outside is a constant visual feast. Only recently in human history have medical studies identified the positive impacts of walking to mental health, but I could have easily pointed that out without extensive research. It is good to be outside!
