After spending three hours photographing roses at the Elizabeth Park Rose Garden in Hartford, we drove to the nearest Starbucks in West Hartford for our traditional post-shoot coffee. Although we parked across the street, we just couldn't leave the cameras in the car. So, instead of walking fifty feet to Starbucks, we walked in separate directions, cameras in hand doing our street shooting. Sometimes our paths crossed, and once in a while, we photographed the same thing, but we each saw it differently. It's like two people telling the same story, they both tell it differently.
One thing we did learn, however, the hungrier you are, the more you will photograph people eating, sidewalk restaurants, "Please wait to be seated," signs, and table settings just waiting for customers. It's sort of like going to the grocery store on an empty stomach at dinnertime.
