inShoutout to the weekend market vendors who flipped my view on staged moments
Watching this debate unfold feels like we're overanalyzing a beautiful sunset. Sure, @rivera.kim, that tomato lesson was pure magic because it was real, but sometimes a photographer asking "hey, can you lift that fish?" just captures a different kind of true moment, a brief human connection. Getting a perfect candid shot of a wistful stare is fantastic, but so is a portrait where someone proudly shows their work. Not every interaction is a staged performance, sometimes it's just two people having a momentary chat that also tells a story. It doesn't all have to be so serious.
