Indian summer in Vologda. Part 2

So I have lived to the point where street photography in my understanding, in my world, began to be divided not into two types, as a couple of years ago....not into three types, as this year....but even four.

I want to describe in detail these states, these moods, these angles of perception of reality here, so that this text can be preserved and then I can reread and analyze it.

And so, again for the tenth time (sorry, I need this for my own understanding).

Street photography is what is captured on the street, in a public place, park, square, beach, etc.

The essence of street art is the fixation of non–stop reality using various creative and technical tricks.

I see the same street, but I feel it in different ways, depending on my mood, my frequency of vibrations, and my creative wave.

And based on this, at the moment I identify four types of creative waves.

Spotted street is a chaotic jumble of details, elements, and objects in a frame, which makes the picture look abstract. It is achieved due to a long focus (compression of space) and a tightly aperture. A person or a lot of people are part of a pattern.

Contrasting street – a lot of completely black shadows, silhouettes, patterns, lines, shapes. The person in the frame is secondary and is an addition to the scene being shot.

Reportage street – the main character in the frame is a person, a blurred background, often portraits or scenes reflecting everyday life. Sometimes there are scenes of a humorous or ambiguous nature.

Stock Street is close to reportage, but with the desire to capture as many different scenes as possible. Attention to clothes, architecture, and places that have already changed or will soon lose their former appearance.

If a street reportage is a desire to publish a series of images as soon as possible or to give them to publication, then a stock street is shooting into the future, taking into account the fact that once the scenes are shot, they will become valuable and in demand.

These are four different angles of perception of the same genre.

...And why do I feel like I've discovered some philosophical four corners?..

It's strange, but it's like I would to draw an analogy between the cardinal directions, the seasons, and everything related to the sacred number four.

I can't take it easy...I am constantly worried about some extraneous issues of existence...

If according to inner feelings, according to the response, then reportage street = spring, spotted = summer, contrasting = autumn, stock = winter.

Oh, yes, I also remembered that I have such a wave when (especially in autumn) I want to shoot straight in a jpeg.

I would not attribute this to any kind of creative waves, because it feels like these waves are always different.

There was such a thing that, on the reporting wave, I wanted to shoot immediately in jpeg.

And once I shot in jpeg without processing on a wave of spotting...so this moment is kind of separate and I don't know what to connect it with yet.

But it definitely needs to be explored. But why would I do that? ....

It doesn't make sense...
