Patience…
This is one of those ads you know is going to lead to a photographic moment. It just takes patience. Of course in a busier city the wait time typically goes down but there is still a wait. Patience is a virtue. A number of people passed by but I felt something was still missing. So I waited a little while longer and voila! This guy came by.
Street photography requires a number of things. Patience is one. A big one. If you don't have it then street photography is either going to wear it into you or you will end up with another creative outlet. I'll leave you with that.
