Comments on: From the Folsom Street Fair http://www.citysnaps.net/blog/?p=2419 Welcome to Citysnaps Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:35:18 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jenzthename http://www.citysnaps.net/blog/?p=2419&cpage=1#comment-4759 Jenzthename Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:43:25 +0000 http://www.citysnaps.net/blog/?p=2419#comment-4759 My boy took no pictures of me at FSF; I wonder if you may have snapped one of me? I had about 20 people take my picture, and I'd love to have a keepsake of my first time. Does a chick in a black corset, big rack, ass hanging out, with a guy in a purple and black skirt with rainbow suspenders ring a bell?

I think that part of the problem is constantly dealing with the known. Sooner or later cruising Market Street is going to have a dulling effect. Our mental photo sensors just don't have the same intensity after a while. That's what's so great about traveling. Whenever you find yourself in a totally foreign, unknown environment, and all expectations about what is going to happen next disappear, we (or at least I) just seem to come alive in a different way, and the image sensor just seems to operate more efficiently. You need a change of venue. Cheers... Rem I know what you’re talking about. I think that part of the problem is constantly dealing with the known.

When I'm at an event like Folsom or Carnaval, the energy is amazing and I'm shooting like a machine. When I get home, I'm drained, in a good way. But when I review my photographs, there's a big gap between what I see in front of me, and what I felt I was shooting when I was at the event. Good point about the energy that keeps things in motion! It's amazing how willing people are to give me 15 seconds for a (burst of) photographs. But no more than a few seconds. Then they're off. Unfortunately, I need my 1-2 minutes to get my full fix. The one exception that I've found is that new event in San Jose that I told you about on Sunday. Maybe because it's still small, but I and a few other photographers had no trouble cornering people to model for the 1-2 minutes that I need. Andy I hear ya’, Man…
