When I walk the street, I always make sure to wear a smile. I find that by approaching the city with curiosity and love for the mundane, it helps me remain in a joyous state.
Compliment strangers
If you see a beautiful person or somebody that’s wearing a nice outfit, make sure to give them a compliment. Not only does being kind to others give you more opportunities to make portraits and photographs of strangers, but it’s just a nice thing to do. Also, if you see somebody that’s doing a good job cleaning up the streets, performing live music, or painting an old building, recognize their artistry and the work that they are doing. I believe that a simple smile, compliment, or act of kindness such as holding the door for people does go a long way to make your city a better place.
