Street Photography for the Purist

Urban landscape doesn’t count.
Just so you know.
Street photography is its own genre.
There may be buildings in your photographs, however, the building cannot be the subject. A human subject adding scale is still urban landscape. But
it can, in fact, be street photography.
Street photography is about its humans ... those people inhabiting a particular place. At a particular point in time.
A city.
A town.
A holler.
Where-the-fuck-ever.
If you think I’m going to say you can make street photographs with any type of camera, you are sorely mistaken.
You can flame.
I can ignore.
I can delete.
Because you just don’t know.
I think a ghost would make best street photographer.
But ... not in the way Wee Gee was a street photographer.
He used flash.
Flash is contrived.
Even well-balanced strobe.
