[Biggles]

Because the pictures are just waiting for me to go find them.

 

[rool]

Because it is so real
... and because sometimes you bump into such surreal scenes ...

 

[RayPA]

...because the world is never what is seems, it's a mystery, and sometimes in a split second you can capture it, and examine it for clues.

"The uncompromising image"

BYSTANDER: A HISTORY OF STREET PHOTOGRAPHY by Colin Westerbeck & Joel Meyerowitz that has allot to say about the uniqueness of street photography apart from other styles of photography. This is one of my favorite books on this subject. Has anyone else seen it?

Quote from book: "Winogrand seemed to be happiest when he confronted a wall of humanity surging down the street. He threw himself into it."

Yes. A bit text heavy, IMO. I found the physical size of the book to be a hinderance to just kicking back and reading it. But it's very good, and seemingly thorough. BTW, about the middle of last year we (RFF members) had a discussion thread, or two, that centered on this book.
