FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Compact over a big SLR?
Yes for street — a small quiet camera (fixed-lens compact or a small mirrorless) is unobtrusive and always with you; a big SLR changes how people react and stays at home. Small wins the shot.
Fixed wide prime?
Yes — 28 to 35mm equivalent is the street focal length: wide enough for context, close enough to engage. A fixed prime forces you to move (the art) instead of zoom (the laziness); one focal length, learned deeply.
Wrist strap over neck strap?
Yes — a wrist strap keeps the camera secure and ready at your side, where a neck strap swings and advertises. Street is about readiness and discretion; the wrist strap serves both.
Shoot a lot, show a little?
Yes — street is a numbers game and an editing game; shoot freely, edit ruthlessly. One frame in a hundred is worth showing; the discipline of the edit is what makes a street photographer, not the shutter.

Street photo kit and my travel kit share the small-and-already-with-you gospel — a compact with a 28mm prime and a wrist strap is the camera you actually carry. Shoot a lot, show a little, agreed.
