Daily Observations Street Photography by Guillaume Groen

Now is the best time to start street photography

The best time to start street photography is now. Do not wait. There is no perfect moment. It is always too cold. Or to warm.

It's the last day of the year. Fireworks shops sell out and the last groceries are being bought for New Year's Eve.

To get the last ones before they sell out people stand in line at the local stall in De Huesmolen Mall in Hoorn to buy their set of 'oliebollen' 31-12-2018, Hoorn, The Netherlands Het is de laatste dag van het jaar. De vuurwerkwinkels verkopen hun laatste vuurwerk, de laatste boodschappen voor de jaarwisseling worden gedaan. Maar de lekkernij die iedereen op tafel wil hebben is de oliebol.
