Good article, with solid suggestions that can lead to good captures.
The summation at the end was an added, unexpected conclusion, that many bloggers forget to do.

Never hurts to try to improve, so thanks.

As someone recently said, "street photography" is increasingly just a fad lately. Hipsters with expensive gear take unflattering photos of strangers and don't tell any story at all. It's all a bit depressing lately.

Sorry, but I don't see this as a good essay. Same old example of HCB; almost all undistinguished, trite pictures; no discussion of purpose, except "the human condition;" and the first picture, the "fantastic example" of the unknown couple in handcuffs can also be questionable in the sense of the "perp walk" picture of DSK in New York. One could ciritcize this essay at greater length, but it hardly seems to be worth the effort.

interesting article, shooting the street is easy,
making meaningful pictures is going to be alot
harder due to the dynamic nature of the
subjects.
