Title: If u think street photography is hard, look at street sketching
Post by: Michael Haspert on January 25, 2014, 03:44:55 pm

Artist Jorge Colombo has done New Yorker covers and more using an iPhone and the free open-source "finger painting" app Brushes. (Now Brushes 3. No idea what happened to Brushes 1 and 2.)

At the bottom of the page linked to are videos of 100 street sketches being drawn.

Watching the scene appear is an interesting illustration of technique.
Maybe my tastes are naïve, but I think his sense of composition has something that will appeal to street photographers.
Enjoy.
