Given the chance, Bored Panda spoke to Edas. When discussing the challenges and ethics of street photography, Wong shared a memorable experience: "Sometimes bravery is needed. I remember once, after I took a photo in the subway, two guys approached me, pushed me to the wall, and asked me to delete the photo because they were in the frame. In the end, I deleted the photograph."
This was a comment that I read, scrolled on, then it hit me. Lol. Had to come back to upvote.

Okay, I'm looking at the green shirt guy and WTH is happening with his neck?
When it came to addressing the fear often associated with street photography, the photographer noted, "There are many types of fear in the whole creation, e.g. fear of no result, fear of repetition, fear of not-understanding. To create completely new stuff, we have to overcome all the stupid fears that we create ourselves. At the same time, I enjoy this process, i.e. fear, overcoming fear, and outcome."
Wong elaborated on where he finds inspiration for his work: "Inspiration does not come from thinking or drugs. It comes from concentrated observation. When the mind is empty and highly concentrated, creativity will then boom. Therefore, continuous creation is possible if the focus is on observation during photography. Every time, when a new inspiration comes up, no matter if it is a fun idea or not, I feel grateful."
Edas also shared his thoughts on the unpredictability of capturing the perfect shot: "Capturing a good street photo is very complicated. You need creative ideas and coincidental moments... The answer is that it is NOT impossible to ever happen and completely depends on luck!"

The red triangle is cleverly pointing to the red light.
Load More Replies...the red triangle is a sticker on the window. it indicates that the window is breakable and can be used as an entry point for the fire brigade in the event of emergency. from the photographer’s point of view, they sort of line up and look like the triangle is pointing at the red light like a cursor.
It's a traffic light in front of a building, what's the illusion supposed to be?
It looks like a heartbeat monitor and or a radio with frequency and or a board of musical sound equipment .

I see the face encircled by the wire, but I guess I'm the only one who sees that it has a gun, and that there is possibly a second face in the paint. I think I may be broken.
Didn't see the gun until you pointed it out.
Load More Replies...I could absolutely be wrong, I think it's the "face" created by the cable on the far right side. As to your visual or mental capacities I'm afraid I am far under-qualified to diagnose. 🤟
