i'm growing fond of street photography, but of course after the post-processing is done, there's still a sense of unresolved business. who are the people i'm taking pictures of, really? what are their stories? is the moment i captured something habitual or sporadic; is it an accurate representation of "street photography" or are wrong implications forced upon my photos simply based on my eye's bias?

i could stop and ask them, theoretically...but then something else is lost in pose. perhaps there's never a happy medium, but perhaps that truth is the happy medium in itself?

guess we'll never know for sure:)
