      I was born in concord and frequented San Fran. I'm 35 now.
      What I can say is places in Cali, and Cali itself, tend to sell themselves as being something they're not.
      San Fran was always kind of dusky on an average day.

      Take a small cheap film camera and leave your valuables at home.
      That’s how us old dinosaurs did it in NYC back in the 70s.
      Raggy clothes and very small cameras. Look as poor as you can and blend in best you can.

    I've been doing Instagram for a minute now and every time I post, I feel like I should quit. I barley get any support and no matter how "satisfied" I am with the photos, people don't seem to like it. I really don't know what to do anymore, I don't want to give up but I also don't want to take photos I don't like ,, I don't know what to do... I'm feeling really lost and these videos help but I don't know, I can't help but feel like it's all for nothing.

      They don’t - they have day jobs or a rich smart wife who supports them.
      They make some money off zines and print sales.
      They can write off business expenses.
      Not much money in street. Some photograph weddings or commercial- both of which pays more.
      Street photography is a labor of love!
      A hobby for many. An expensive hobby.
      Most work real jobs.
      If they do make money /is their only income from street it’s a bare bones lifestyle for most.
      As in young, single, no children, no car, coach surf etc no responsibility to others. Etc
      Anyone know anybody making their entire income off of street? That would be a great interview!
