Like people like the effect of Blur,i see Black and White pictures as A Blur Effect Of Light And Shadow.Who knows,possibly all of our existance is nothing but a Shadow Of Light in universe. Anyhow,to me Black and White is good and enough.Timewindow I like black and white photos,as it takes away the distraction of colours.The simple (Black and White …and Gray)tones naturally express the true nature of light and shadow in the universe.

I spend a great deal of time photographing people in and around their surroundings and environment. I find some of the best photographs are when people do not know they are being photographed. It changes their mood and attitude when they see that they are the subject and focus of your attention. If there is one thing I can add, it is have confidence in your ability to photograph people, because some times candid can turn into, "oh did you just take my picture". Being able to have the confidence to talk to complete strangers is key to navigating your way out of a situation like this. And some times, a person can be so interesting that you are compelled to photograph them and the only way possible is to ask them for permission, which also takes a certain level of confidence. To me, candid also falls right inline with street photography. Another one of my serious focuses with photography.
