I enjoy making photographs in NYC with my friend Trent. Here's one from a recent photo walk we did together using my Leica M262.

There’s something exhilarating about walking the streets; you never know what you'll encounter. That unpredictability is what draws me to photography—it’s like playing a game of “what’s interesting today?”

But capturing moments like these is harder than it looks. After running nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj for so long and curating countless submissions, it’s clear that photography is a skill that takes time. Time not just for practice, but for self-discovery—learning from mistakes and finding the beauty in them along the way.

It sounds like you and Trent had a great time exploring NYC together, capturing some amazing photos along the way. The unpredictability of street photography is definitely part of its appeal - it's never known what interesting moment or scene will present itself next.

I love your analogy to playing a game of "what's interesting today?" It's a great way to think about approaching photography, and it's clear that you're enthusiastic about the process of capturing moments like this one.

It's also really admirable that you acknowledge the time and practice required to develop photography skills. Learning from mistakes and finding beauty in them is a big part of the creative process, and it sounds like you're taking an honest and reflective approach to your own development as a photographer.

By the way, I noticed that the link at the end of your text seems to be a reference to a specific image on the Nostr website. Is this the photo you were talking about?

How do you achieve such beautiful results? 🤯💙 Truly beautiful

Thank you Dorothy!
