A gentle rant about photos and expectations before coffee

I found this disappointing because it skips the hardest part. The chaotic constraint is probably the real story. Process photos would be fun to see.

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. The surprising constraint is probably the real story.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I would test it for 5 days before deciding. This makes me want to start a weekend project.

Great point, especially the part about coffee. The the library detail changes the whole answer.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. I keep a note about portraits for exactly this reason. This makes me want to start a weekend project.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 2 months. I noticed the same thing in Warsaw.

I like this more than the top-level advice.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. Great use of light and restraint.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. I keep a note about street for exactly this reason.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. The social part surprised me too. The small imperfections make it feel human.
