I think the number one skill a good street photographer possesses is a total lack of embarrassment. I on the other hand, suffer from an overactive sense of embarrassment, so I’ll stick to landscapes! :D

A lack of embarrassment is one thing – this guy simply thinks that he’s god’s gift to photography. He likens himself to Cartier-Bresson, dismisses anyone with a different opinion as “flaming” and goes on (and on and on) about how the photos wouldn’t be anywhere as good if it weren’t for his talent and skill.

Not to mention,

The one-line writing.

Starts to grate.
