A year of walking home the long way turned into After Hours. These are the notes I kept along the way: what I carried, how I printed, and what I would do differently.

## what I carry

I carry as little as I can. **One camera**, *one lens*, ~~no tripod~~, spare batteries, `ISO 3200`, and [the same route home](https://index.pachathemes.com/after-hours/).

### film or digital

Both. Film for the slow nights, digital for the nights when everything happens at once.

#### a note on flash

Flash only when the street is already loud. In the bag:

- one camera and one prime lens
- two rolls of black and white film
- a notebook for street names
1. walk the same route for a month
2. print a contact sheet every Sunday
3. sequence the series on the floor

## on waiting

> Most of street photography is standing still long enough for the city to forget you are there.

> Wait for the light, then wait for the person.
