I have a few... I think of street photography as a way to make something out of nothing.

My best shot in the street is that I will do tomorrow.

That's why I return again and again in the streets despite fears of the unknown, and I realize again and again that I just missed a great photo, with the diffuse and contradictory feelings of being a hunter extremely insightful and a beginner so naive.

Story behind this:

Brother and sister traveling duo, performing on the streets of San Francisco. Shot April 15, 2011. Photo with my Leica M2, ilford hp5+ 400. Processed the film, then using a magnifying glass to view the negative, took a photo through it with an Iphone 4. Of course that was still a photo of the negative. But there is an iphone app which allows you to convert a negative image into B&W. So the quality of this is certainly diminished by a lot, but it gave me a great quick way to see how the photo might look if printed or scanned (once i buy a real scanner!)

Looks even worse attached, bit better here: http://huntjump.tumblr.com/
