Scott Schuman, also known as The Sartorialist, has an interesting behind the scenes look of his day-to-day activities shooting for his blog. Although the site attracts thousands daily for the fashion featured, Schuman's photography is first-rate. I've followed the blog (similarly on Blogspot) for a long time, and often thought the shots were posed, I guess some are but the majority aren't - he says he spends 4-5 hours a day walking the streets. Either way, if street photography is your thing, the video is a real insight.
