Great Photo Hunt/Street Pictures

Although some of the information was outdated (most references were to film cameras rather than digital) The Great Photo Hunt was very helpful for someone like me who doesn't really know the first thing about taking good enterprising pictures. The suggestions to always be prepared with extra batteries, cash (I still can't figure out of he was joking about using it for bribes...) and enough gas in your fuel tank to take you at least 50 miles. His example of taking pictures of anything that moved from 8-10 am in Chanute, Kansas was one of the many good reasons he provided for photojournalists to be well-practiced in the art of enterprising shots.

The Street Pictures website was basically the examples of what LaBelle was attempting to teach in his book.  It helped to see these examples, since most of the photos that were in LaBelle's Eres document weren't very easy to see. Snider's photos showed me how something as simple as children playing on a playground could make a good picture, with the right angle and at the right moment. The foreword to his gallery made the pictures seem accessible, like anyone with the correct tools and knowledge could make these photos.
