Hi, That's good. I'd say it counts as street photography. There is a street photography mailing list which you can get to through www.topica.com, iirc. I subscribed for a while but not for long because I thought most of the discussions were, frankly, self-indulgent pretentious crap. Oh, and if you don't think the sun shines out of Gary Winogrand's arse you get howled down. But don't let that put you off... <g>
There's an interesting book called "Bystander: a history of street photograph" which pretty much sums up what it's all about: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0821227262/qid%3D1006810262/026-0375646-2784406 It's a very worthwhile book. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, November 26, 2001, 8:55:02 PM, you wrote: > Howdy all, > I have read several posts that referred to "street photography" and I'm > still not clear on what was meant by that term.
