Black and White Street Portraits by Brett Walker

Brett Walker stated that street shooting gives him the opportunity to over come some fear barriers - a chance to exercise some of his demons - that somewhere inside of us all, we know when it’s okay to take a shot and when it’s not, and that the times he gets “caught” are the times that he is desperate to get a shot, and stops following his own rules. Then the subject gets mad and all he can do is apologize, “and go sit in a café and say, fuck”.
