However, They can't change their faces, clothes, the location, etc. I'm not holding up a mirror to society, I ask society if I can hold the mirror. The spontaneity is gone, but I figure I get a snapshot in time that was not entirely planned, and capture the life of our era. As you know, I have been watching your blog for almost two years now, and nkow that you do great street photography. <BR/><BR/>Best Regards,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363645754592641317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-73339816960922417952009-01-09T01:49:00.000-08:002009-01-09T01:49:00.000-08:00I have a different view of street photography from...I have a different view of street photography from you, Yvon, although we share a dislike of the "in your face" style of camera mugging. For me, street photography is capturing life on the street or in public as it happens, hopefully in an interesting way. The moment you ask someone if it's OK to take their photograph, you've stopped capturing life on the street as it happens and started influencing it. Your pics are great but I'd put them in the category of environmental portraits rather than street photography. That's just my own view, however, and I know there as many definitions of street photography as there are street photographers.<BR/><BR/>For those who might be interested, I posted some of my own street images on my blog: http://pentaxk10dblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/street-photography.htmlBruce Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888340033630703603noreply@blogger.com
