This photo was taken on Valentine’s Day, where mobile vendors were selling flowers everywhere. The flowers were the only things that stood out in the gray winter landscape of the north.

However, the photo does not capture the moment when the lover sent the flowers, making it less exciting.

I believe this is a good photo because it captures the essence of Valentine’s Day. The image depicts both couples and a lone figure, which is a common occurrence. It is possible that the bouquet of flowers was a gift to herself rather than from someone else.

Failure is the mother of success, but unsuccessful photos will not lead to successful ones. Each photo should give the photographer a sense of accomplishment so that it will last. Poor photos don’t lead to good ones; in most cases, they turn people into gearheads.

If you have a nagging feeling when you lock the door, as if you have forgotten something, you will always find out later that you have indeed forgotten something. It could be the batteries, or the memory card.

Street photography also demands a sixth sense. When walking down the street, I often feel compelled to capture moments with my camera. Without much thought, I prepare my camera in anticipation of the perfect shot, and more often than not, the opportunity presents itself.

Perhaps like poets, photographers possess a sixth sense that allows them to capture inspiration in their work. In my view, photographers are poets in their own right, crafting prose poems through their lens that capture the essence of everyday life.
