“I am a camera, with its shutter open. Someday, all of this will be developed, printed, fixed.” - Christopher Isherwood
This is my preferred style of the the art, also known to some as street photography. That name is also something of a misnomer because it is about people, who are frequently found in all sorts of places, doing all sorts of things.
Unlike more immediate styles, such as journalism, I like to get my pictures of people & their events, save the take to the hard drive, & come back to it later. Sometimes I see things I didn't notice at the time, or I see something else. Then I either delete that bad boy, crop it or it becomes a whole other photo on it's own. Photojournalism, fashion etc are of course more immediate & thats fine. They pay, so I don't mind the time crunch so much. The art stuff doesn't pay except in praise, but $$ will come.
