First street shot....
It was around 1980 and I was just starting to understand the mechanics behind taking pictures. I was taking a photography class where we developed our own film and I started experimenting with different types of shots. I remember that I had just figured out that a smaller aperture meant a greater depth of field. And, that a greater depth of field meant I didn't have to concentrate as much on focusing. This led me to begin walking the streets with a camera that was pre-set for what I now know was street photography.
This was the first shot that I took that I would classify as a street photography shot. I developed it and printed it... and scanned it. It's called "Brick Woman".
