Whether you possess a top-of-the-line DSLR, a non-obtrusive rangefinder or a cell phone,
the most adventurous type of picture-taking is street photography. It is practiced by full-time
photojournalists, camera club newbies, and some of the most famous photographers of our
time. Whether you pursue it relentlessly as a specialty or only occasionally on sunny, Sunday
afternoons, street photography is one of photography’s most enjoyable and eclectic art pursuits.
“Street photography is an age-old tradition, and also a solitary undertaking. It has been elevated
by such luminaries as Robert Frank, Gary Winogrand and Lee Friedlander. Street photography is
an active, confrontational art form where the objective is to see and react to life around you. It is
ground zero. No rules.”
The above quote is from a two-part blog I wrote a couple of years ago about street photography.
