I take about six pictures of my coffee before I get one I like, and it’s not like it’s a challenging picture to take. It’s sitting still. I can turn the cup if I need to. Nothing fancy. Street photographer Edas Wong can get a better photo out of a guy who’s just trying to walk past a store.

My favorite part of Wong’s photos is that the people in them probably have no idea they were funny that day. They’re running errands or checking their phones. Then, for half a second, a sign or a reflection lines up just right, and Wong is there to catch it. I’d walk right past the same scene and only look up when I realized I’d missed my turn.
