Robert Capa once said that if your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough
and he was right by my opinion
the day when i learned his phrase, i stopped using zoom lens for my street and documentary photography. just 28 and 35mm lenses is good and small and less scarring the strangers :-))))
anyway, your series is beautiful.

You got it, and that's right, fellow photographer. 😌 I knew someone would say the original phrase.
Robert Capa, a great master of photography, knew what he was talking about. Documentary photography is not about shooting from a distance, it's about getting involved in order to tell the story not just through pictures.
In many cases I come close. In others I don't. It also depends on the mood I'm in and the people too.
I use a zoom lens because I only have two lenses and that's the best one because the other one is a basic lens, really bad. I know, I have to invest in equipment. But it will be when I can... as soon as I get Hive up to 3, I'll have what I want. 🤣
Thank you for your compliments.
@victorbz, @nanixxx... Who the hell is this Robert Capa, eh????...
hahahaha :))... I'm kidding guys!... I couldn't resist making this joke!... hahaha... I usually notice which lens my camera is on after I'm out on the street! :(... So I don't have much to say about :(... But I like to see this kind of comments on @visualshots posts!... Thank you both very much dear friends!...

Good one!
I, who like to question everything, don't think he was just talking about being physically close.
Close can also mean somehow involved.
@nanixxx @jlinaresp i don't really care about him and about other big names and their phrases. Personally my favorite photographer always was Daido Moriyama not the Capa, but i'm really love to be close in to the face when i taking portraits, or photographing at streets. And closer i come, more intimate my images looks and finally during the conversation ppl forget about my camera. :-))))
A superb photo, without a doubt! 😍
