  1. Sean, do you think it’s time to drop the archaic term ‘photographer’? I’ve watched a host of videos recently, yours included, and I’ve never heard the words ‘photograph’ or ‘picture’ used once. You’ve replaced it with the sterile ‘image’. You shoot images, edit images, display images, and talk about images. It’s such a boring word.

  2. Like you said for street photography you always have to be ready because a good moment can happen at any time… so in which mode to you shoot?
    Some people say auto mode is only for beginners, so do you shoot in manual mode even for street photography?
    I’m assuming by the time you get the right settings for aperture, iso and shutter speed the moment or subject is gone already.

    So what is the best way to do it?
