Warning: My best street shots came from a broken camera
I used a cheap film camera with a stuck shutter for years and got amazing candid pics. Now with perfect digital gear, everything looks too clean and misses the raw feel. Do you think flaws sometimes make street photos more real?

Totally. The flaws add soul, and perfect shots can feel kinda dead.

Man, my old film camera's light leaks were the best 'mistakes' ever.

Seriously, broken gear makes you think harder. The struggle shows in the shot.

Wait, your shutter was actually stuck? That's wild lol. Mine just had light leaks but you were out here with a fully broken camera. I can't even imagine trying to time shots around a stuck shutter, you must have had to plan every single photo around that one flaw. That's way more hardcore than just accepting some foggy edges.
