I still think it is a good practice to carry a camera with you everywhere you go, as many “decisive moments” tend to happen at the most random of times. I always carry a compact camera with me, and have found some of my best photographs in the least likely places (supermarket, waiting in line at airport, while running errands).
However I still think there is great value in Klein’s methodology in working in short and focused bursts.
It still blows me away how Klein was able to photograph most of his photography books of New York, Rome, Paris, and Moscow on an average of only 3 months. Most photographers take years or even decades to finish photographing for their books.
I suspect it is because when Klein was shooting on the streets, he didn’t dick around. He hit the streets with passion and fervor, and shot in the streets without hesitation. Through his purposeful shooting on the streets he was able to create powerful and memorable photographs.
So even if you don’t have a lot of free time to shoot on the streets, don’t fret. If we can learn anything from Klein, it is that it is quality, not the quantity of time we use when shooting in the streets that matters.
