That point about handheld shots telling a truer story... it's spot on. I saw @elizabeth_gonzalez's story about her friend missing the kid getting a sample... same thing happened to me once. I used to bring a tripod to these markets but learned the hard way. You need to be ready to move, to catch those quick moments between people. Now I just keep my camera steady with my hands and shoot from the hip sometimes. The footage might shake a bit, but it feels alive... like you're really there.
