10 types of street photographers

[easyrider]

A retired Canadian news photog posted the link below on Facebook.
The post starts thus:
"Over the last few years, I have met or seen in action quite a few photographers. A lot of great and passionate people covering a wide range of styles, gear and personalities. Here is therefore an attempt to classify them in different types. This is evidently a satire, to be taken with humor, but I am sure you’ll find a little bit of yourself in some of these types. . . go to link

Ha! That is funny. I hate to admit it, but I think I recognized a little bit of me in each of the ten!

Great read! Haven't gotten into street yet, but I will when I get my camera!

I'm so Number 10, but I'm making it work for me.

I hate #1 and #5 types. I'm probably close to #6. I've even told a few people I'm the world's 2nd greatest photographer.

Yeah, it is a pretty funny list. But I was hoping to find a lot more of myself in there. A tad of innovator (way too many tilted pictures) perhaps... I think I just don't shoot enough street.

I like Yanidel's photography.

That settles it then....

I'm "The Family Man" 🙂 although my wife is not "demanding" and I so far only have 1 kid.

Great read... I'm The Innovator, The Nostalgic, The Frugal, and The Family man

I think it described the whole board...

That was by far the funniest stuff I've read this (5 days old) year! Thanks for sharing it.

It could be fun to have a poll just like that here on the forum, to make a portrait of this funny comunity. I'd probably be a 4, slightly 6-ish and 9-ish, but not punched in my face yet..
