Hi L Gao,

I see the examples you showed us more as environmental portraits than street photography but I might be wrong?

Per se, there's no good or bad locations to do street photography, sometimes I pick up a spot with an interesting background and I wait until something happens or I walk until I find something.

A street photographer makes money just the same as other fine art photographers. Selling prints, get published, competitions or teaching.

Von der Decken's Hornbill

A bird I have not come across before. In my ignorance I just assumed it was a variety of Toucan.

I feel fortunate to have ben able to capture it with my lens.
