The Patience Before the Shot: Filmmaker Dan Aragon on Street

Aragon's approach is simple and hard to argue with: don't shoot until you've actually looked. Borrowing from filmmaking, he treats observation as a pre-production step, not a nice-to-have. For street shooters who default to spray-and-pray, that discipline is the difference between a folder full of noise and a frame that holds up. Worth a read on a quiet morning before a personal project, less useful if you're hunting workflow tips.
