I've shot street photography for years, and I'm convinced that relying on luck—being at the right place at the right moment—is more essential than having expensive gear. My best shot, a kid jumping over a puddle, came from a $300 camera while my $3000 lens stayed home. But some argue that luck favors the prepared, and post-processing can rescue an average capture. Does the magic of a candid moment truly outweigh technical control, or are we just romanticizing chance?
