Street Photography

Definitions, pigeon-holes, limitations and inspiration. Are people who hang on to the “old” forms of street photography the equivalent of stuckist painters? I’m tempted to write something longer in response to the suggestion that Street Photography is dead but in the meantime here’s a picture of a bus stop.

Delegate

I’ve finally started moving all my archived photos from CDs and DVDs onto an external hard disk. There are nearly 7 years worth of backups so it’s a somewhat daunting task (especially as I make at least two copies of everything). Fortunately a daughter who normally spends her time knitting and watching daytime TV is at hand. We’re about a third of the way through and assuming I will eventually abandon iView, I’ve started throwing the pictures into the Lightroom beta, hoping they don’t price it in a way that makes me have to consider Aperture.

Street Panoramas Book

I’ve been intending to make a shelf-challenging book of panoramic photos for a long time but the intended size has even intimidated me, so in the meantime, I’ve put together a small, pocket-sized, version. Entitled, Small Book Big City, this is a limited edition of only ten copies and to ease the pain of the size versus price ratio it comes with a print (approx 20″ / 50cm long) of one of the images. You can see all the pictures in the book and find out more, here.
