Great video. I'm glad you taped the conversation with the elderly man. This is something all street photographers face at some time or another. The photographer who inspired me was a teacher in grade school. He was a substitute teacher and the class was giving him a hard time. It was only when he showed us his photography that you could hear a pin drop. He photographed countries where photographers are not welcome, and he was chased by the local police. His work was phenomenal. We had a new respect for him after he explained every photograph and the situation.
For the most part, strangers are usually welcoming and accepting of photography so long as they understand the intentions behind it. Obviously, this is heavily dependant on geography, politics, age, religion and ethnicity but I think empathy should be universal to some degree.
@@JayRegular I agree. My teacher showed work that was taken in the 1960's. The world was a different place then. No matter how old the photos are, they were captured during a time that depicts life back then.. A truly educational journey.
Hey Jay, thanks a lot for taking us along! Would be great to see more of this special places and quarters in Sydney. The uncle at the end is from a different time. If all photographers in the past had to ask for permission we would have no clue how life was and how it changed... You are creating a legacy for the future generation!
Yes! I will try to get out and visit other locations as much as possible. Given the pandemic, areas outside of the main city is very quiet these days so I find it difficult to shoot sometimes. Yes hopefully we can look back at all the photos we've taken 20-30 years from now and see just how much change has happened in the world!
That shot at 4:49 is my fav for sure man, looks like you put in some good legwork that day. Great to see Mr Miguel too! Glad you stuck to your guns with old mate as well & left that footage in. I see you found my light slice I love in Parra too (mad invite btw :P)
old mate just mad because I was making bangers. Didn't stay long in Parra, it was too hot to be outside and also it was dead outside. Everyone was in the shopping centre, mad sad.
@@JayRegular I genuinely think I was in the city that day as is, so all good. But that little intersection has that slice of light pretty much all day. Should come back another time.
@@JayRegular yeah. Happens at least once in every town i go. Got told to delete my footage at parra but i was on private property. Inspired me to learn the law and did a vid on it. Nobody has the right to touch or delete our content. You handled it well with humor and non aggressive response. 🤣
I really like this quick session videos!! I’m glad that you left that interaction with the old guy in the video. Can you do a Coffee Cameras and Chill update soon?
Not too long now Hiro! CCC will be back soon... actually now with all these rollercoaster restrictions being reapplied, it seems like the perfect time haha
Yay a new Video :D Happy new Year Jay. 5:04 I am a streetphotographer. NOOO 🤣That killed me. In fact, you're the first to have caught such a situation as far as I can remember. One way to counteract such strange people right away is to hit them in the head with the paragraphs. 😅 7:44 Is my favorite of this Video.
Handled that grumpy old man quite well man. It’s hard to explain what we do. I find the term “street photography” doesn’t mean anything to people. I’ll usually say I’m doing an art project or shooting for a travel magazine etc.
True, usually white lies work fine but I already knew from the way he spoke it didn't really matter at all how I spun it... So I just wanted to talk him out until he got over it... Didn't want to disrespect by just walking away haha
Going to be honest, as a non asian, I would ask if i could take a photo of the people playing boardgames in Cabramatta. Sometimes, you got to understand certain areas don't like photos. We all like to try and emulate the photography of the great street photographers from many years but we all have to understand that society has become more sensitive when it comes to cameras and having their photo captured. if you asked the street gamers if you could take their photo, you would not have ruined composition as they were playing and more interested in the game.
I can understand where you are coming from but no matter how you justify it. as soon as some sort of interaction between you and the subject happens, you have already affected the mentality, perception and behaviour of said subject. A lot of the time, what I find most interesting in street photography is capturing what I see in its entirety without any form of disturbance and/or interjection. I acknowledge the changes in societal norms but I still feel it is ok to take first and explain later, so long as your intent is non malicious
It’s really hard to explain street photography to senior folks, though most of them are polite but you handled and replied to the man nicely! Loved the photos especially the one at the end with broken glass!! 🙌🏼🤍

Memory in you mind no picture! Favorite quote of the year so far! 😂
All the bangers
Need to go back there with munya next time, hopefully with more people and less covid

The grumpy old man 😂 “okay go 👉” after he gave you a stern talking. Jay you handled that very well, tip of the hat to you sir.
Fun vid jay ✌🏼
The combination vermicelli is the right choice 😩
It's seriously the best thing on a hot summer's day
Cool vid. I think i ran into that same guy when i did my film vlog around cabra last year. Also got some weird stares with the chesty mount 😆.
Haha guess they are all regulars and are wary of outsiders with cameras, although I'm pretty sure they should be used to the attention by now

I wish I could find a place near me that has this much color, life and diversity.
There's no Chinatown or asian community around your parts?
@@JayRegular not that I’m aware of at least.

Yeh, it's tough when there's a language barrier. Although I'm pretty sure I'd be proper schooled if he spoke to me in Vietnamese
damn should of said hi! haha
depending on the situation, I might drop by during lunar new year? only if things get a bit less hectic
@@JayRegular yeah things bit cray atm. But leme know if ya do
