True ... but I think as an art form it is heavily diluted by very ordinary work that I don't really regard as worth while or significant. A lot of it has as much impact as google earth for me.
The good though is very good and I can discuss that any time! 🙂
This is pretty much true for all types of photography. More and more photos that years ago used to reside in a shoebox in the hall closet are now publically exhibited as a result of the proliferation of digital cameras and the internet. The world has turned into one big "1 Hour" photo kiosk.
Now, is street photography dead? NO! IMHO it is a living and vibrant art. The people who are good at it produce excellent images of the human condition. I am in the middle of a class on people photography. Most of the assignments have been street photography. I have been involved with photography for nearly 60 years, but am definitely a novice when it comes to photographing people on the street. I have felt the sense of exhilaration and satisfaction of street photography. I have also gained a deeper respect of the skill and artistry of the accomplished street photographer.
