The advantage of using a small camera for street photography, besides significantly less neck and back pain, is that I can take it everywhere I go. This eliminates, or at least alleviates, the “I don’t have time to go out shooting” dilemma because I’m always shooting. This is important because we need to practice often to train our eye. It’s what Jay Maisel calls doing visual push-ups. The following images are my recent visual push-ups, all shot with my Fuji X100 in the Miami-Ft Lauderdale area.
