Pithy comments? Okay, I'll give it a go...
From page 6 reading Dodge's observation that to him, street photography should "[...] provoke a reaction other than 'So what?'" I'm on board with his observation. Willem's backstory to his image helps give context, additional meaning to the image that wasn't immediately apparent to me as a viewer. To be honest I might have not stopped on that image because at first glance it didn't hold my attention. However, with his given observation and context regarding the meaning of the image I became more interested in exploring the image and its context. Looking at the images on page 6, those images fall into my 'so what?' category with the exception of KoBra64's image because it's a bit unusual - I stopped to look at it out of curiosity even without a backstory. When I look at Robert Frank's images in the book The Americans, I find a lot of context with at-the-moment and after-the-moment, or historically later social and historical interest. And to be honest a few fall into my 'So what?' category. Personally I find the genre more interesting with examples of imagery that provoke emotion, has social interest, tells a story, provides a glimpse into an interesting moment of time,.. But I also appreciate that different people observe imagery differently, have different values and interests, etc. And so I'm resolved to the appreciation that not everyone will like the same image and not everyone will have interest in the same genres. Hope I was a little bit pithy but not too much. ![]() |

I was interested to read the comments of Dodge (and others) on Page 6 which helped to crystallise my thoughts such as they are. I admit that I don't 'do' street photography but I have seen plenty of images which speak to me not at all, probably why I've chosen thus far to abstain. Anyway, we have a Club Member who is very much a "Street Tog" and who recently challenged us abstainers to 'dip a toe in the water'. A few of us took up the challenge, boarded a train and proceeded to lurk suspiciously around the streets of Bristol; nobody was arrested.
It's hard to assess one's own images so I'm posting some here in the expectation of some pithy comment that will lead me to a better understanding of the genre. #1 STREET PHOTOGRAPHY This is my first attempt; supposed to be humorous but I think I'll redo it on a cobbled street. ![]() A7rM2 * Zeiss 55/1.8 * iso1600 * f/1.8 * 1/1000th (0EV) #2 STREET PHOTOGRAPHER This is one of the guys on the trip' whatever he's thinking of shooting, it's giving him a real problem not to say acute indigestion. ![]() A7rM2 * FE 85/1.4 GM * iso100 * f/2.2 * 1/1250th (0EV) #3 GOT MY EYE ON YOU ![]() A7rM2 * FE 85/1.4 GM * iso100 * f/2 * 1/1600th (0EV) #4 SO WHICH WAY TO DEBENHAMS? ![]() A7rM2 * FE 85/1.4 GM * iso100 * f/2 * 1/50th (0EV) Edited by Peekayoh - 21 July 2016 at 18:03 |

@shay, I enjoyed these. Please come back, share more, and keep this as an ongoing project (months, years). You've shown a good awareness here. I get the feeling you can do even more, so, please continue! What I like is you've seen situations, or something on the cusp of a situation. This is at the heart of the photography I love and something I constantly strive for. |

Bumper cars
![]() DSC05738 by Angel Angelov, on Flickr Not entirely sure whether it qualifies as a street shot, but still :) Once a year a travelling fair arrives in this small town and the main street is closed off to facilitate all the attractions, among which the bumper cars were among the most preferred. Never thought I'd see both kids and older people fight over seats ![]() |

Shay, I have an amusing mental image of you trying to line a shot up by wiggling your belly around at the people in the photo....
