"We discussed these days about humor and its importance in our daily life. Our life could get quite busy sometimes and we might not pay attention to small things and situations that could bring a little bit of joy on our faces. This can be interpreted in many ways, from staged humor or just simply 'mistakes' that are made sometimes accidentally which could turn an image into something comically. Looking back at some works of different photographers like Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand or Joel Meyerowitz, humor is something that can be found at every corner weather or not is somebody acting in a funny way or just the imprint of the artist playing with its imagination.
As you also pointed out, we can see a lot of humor in street photography, but the good question which you also mentioned is that in a moment of chaos, which moments truly makes us laugh? I would say that people, especially when they are rushing or simply being caught in their daily routine, they tend to act differently without even realizing that they could lead to a humorous behavior.
Personally, I think that humor should be present in our daily life and a splash of amusement could only bring a necessary sparkle to soul. For this topic, I tried to focus on situations that could turn into a funny moment without forcing or adding anything external to the spot. Usually, we are trying to give importance to our work with a clear message and intensity, but if we take a moment and step back, we could enter a different world that sometimes we miss or don't pay attention to.
How will you approach this topic? Will you try and play with the available situation in our daily routine ? Would you try and build a funny moment?
Looking forward to your result! Let's take a breath and laugh for a second!"

"For this topic, I also take pictures without setting up the moment, because personally I love the coincident which happed around me! As I discussed with you before I also focus on people but in the the way how they react to their live environment, how they built their home, how they decorate it or fix things around them to adapting their situation. To me. humour is necessary as it keep us of the negative thoughts otherwise our mind just in a dark place. Recently I found out at myself that I make fun on my mistake which is to me, that the easy way to accept and learn from the ugly fact. So yes, keep the positive up heh? Looking forward to see your pics. Stay safe!"
