I use an action i created over the course of a few months to create all the layers and then play with opacities and properties.

I learned most from this video: http://mingtheinstore.outthink.us/home/25-a2-photoshop-workflow-2.html - It's 4 hours long, I think 1 hour is about the x-trans sensor but i haven't watched this part.

If you disable the black and white group, you can see how my workflow isn't suitable for the fuji sensor - with a regular bayer the colors would be natural.

Hope you don't mind me sharing my zine, as a lot of it is not street photography, but it is mostly photo content.

Once a year for the last 3 years I've made a zine just about stuff I like. You can view it in full here - http://issuu.com/oscarfehlberg/docs/think.sans_issue_03

From page 23 onwards, there's a spotlight article with a street shooter friend of mine and there's a few of his snaps there. I also made a 2 page spread to sample the idea of my "Front Yards" project (page 11).

Let me know what you think. Either photo wise or zine wise.

But man, how could ignore these deep, soulful eyes. It's profound work, really...

/unjerk. All good points though.

It's the perfect film camera. Intuitive controls in just the right places. Great lenses, easy to zone-focus. Relatively small and very robust.

For street shooting I mostly use my 35mm and put it to f/8 with some Tri-X or Portra 400 in there and just point and shoot. But the rangefinder is also quick enough for some lower dof shots

As much as I am hesitant to weigh in again... music is an interesting example to bring up.

Take Heavy Metal. Wikipedia (I know I'll get grief about the credibility of the source, but just go with me here...) has a page of sub-genres. As you'll see... it is quite long. In fact, there are sub-sub-genres. Heavy metal doesn't have to be one thing... it can be many, it can be varied.

Taking it a step further - take a look at every noise. 1,375 music genres all mapped for proximity of style. You'll notice there is a lot of bleed there, as genres take on inspirations from other genres and new sub genres are born with a varying recipe of root styles.

Does that mean Slayer is contemporary jazz? No, of course not. But it does mean art is being created on a shifting plane, not on one built on boundaries. Often, artists that really make a difference are the ones that land on those places in between definition.

That doesn't mean that a macro picture of a flower is street photography. But it also means that something that doesn't exactly echo the grandfathers of the craft does not fit on the plane of street photography.

Sick! I live in Aus so not sure if you want to send it to me, but I really like Zines and think they fit really well with street photography.

I have an online Zine and just finished the second issue last week. It's more of a magazine really, but it's still small enough to classify as a Zine. Anyway, in the latest issue I did an interview with a friend I shoot street with and showcase some of his pics. Starts on page 17. Think.Sans http://issuu.com/oscarfehlberg/docs/think.sans_issue_02

Depending on your intentions - I think it's better to try to take images few can reproduce. This is part of the DIA Beacon exhibition right now, and similar, although maybe good images are taken daily. https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/robertirwin/

Home developing is a lot of fun, but yeah, you need time and space to do it and the initial set up cost can be kinda expensive. Something to think about though.

I am on flickr. There is a pretty good street community there.

I am not, but check out lonely planet or even trip advisor for Dubai.

However, I'm most interested to see your follow up project while you're there or even when you get back. Have a great trip and share with us the good stuff!

The reason I bothered writing a long comment was because I got the general sense from what you've posted that you were passionate about what you were trying to do, and working it out/improving and not just an asshole. Glad I was right.

See if you can get a copy of this book from your school or local library: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1597111945/ref=s9_simh_gw_g14_i1_r?ie=UTF8&amp;fpl=fresh&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=desktop-1&amp;pf_rd_r=1VBT2F8340N6KEZVM8KK&amp;pf_rd_t=36701&amp;pf_rd_p=2079475242&amp;pf_rd_i=desktop

or any Bruce Davidson book for that matter. I think he manages to capture 70s/80s NYC, which was arguably a far worse place than current Baltimore, in all of it grit/grime/crime/drug use. Try to understand what about his photos works, and what doesn't. What compositionally elevates his subjects of helps you connect with them, then go out shooting with that in mind. To be honest, I think the biggest thing you can do to help yourself is to edit yourself much harder. I think a class where you are getting ripped apart can be good for teaching you to be even harder on your photos than anybody else. This will also make you shoot more because fewer things will make it past your cuts, and shooting more will always make you better (though, for me at least, posting more can sometimes be a negative to me getting better). I think if you can learn to see your photos in the harshest of lights then the good ones that are left will really be great.
