Aha I am not the only one who asked! Well thats No street - photography from the kind of definition I have in mind Vaughn....!! But it is just interisting that you ask!
If there are some definitions like I have an "illusion" of - your photo is an exeption :
Because you indeed shot people on a street - but they are "unvisible" - seriously : be sure Vaughn
if you would come up for an exibition / challenge from title "street photography" a jury would for sure not sort it out!
...

There are a few people sitting at the bus stop, and of course each set of headlights represent at least one person on the street. I would not complain if it did not 'officially' qualify as street photography. The other image I posted on this thread is not really on the street (post #11) -- a photo of a singular person on a plaza instead. Since I am not a "street photographer", I am not too worried about the definition of street photography...it is a slippery thing.

A short anecdote to this - Vaughn : I shot many many years (around 2 decades) without knowing that what I did! Today I realy don't like all this early shots very well! Once a day I noticed that there is a name for : " Street Photography " - I can't belive - later I noticed examples of popular
famus photographers who specialized !
So there have been others who did the same as I did?......unbelivable!

There are some shots I did wich are not soo bad - but I noticed to change is also a good Idea!
So "street" is the completed past for me!

with regards

PS : A possible advantage from not reading a single book about photography (because I would have noticed some things MUCH earlier then) .....but also a good method to find my own way without any influence!

Actually, that would be Lake photography since that's Lake Michigan.

Also, not quite as vibrant as EIR, but still one of my favorite color films.

I don't know if this is street photography, but it is definitely a photograph of a street.

Ten minutes of a Santiago (Chile) evening, January 2019.
Ilford FP4+, 5x7, 180mm, 10 minute exposure at f32
Platinum/palladium print

Gee, it looks like a street to me, so it is okay.

I learned photography with a Rollieflex, which I was using like a view camera before I knew what a view camera was...and I was photographing "in the style of" Ansel Adams long before I had heard of him or seen any of his actual prints (although I grew up with two mammoth plate prints, 18"x22", by Watkins that hung in our halway that were an influence!) When I did see my first Adams in a Carmel gallery (Tenya Creek, Dogwoods, Rain), my heart cried out, "Yes! That is how light is suppose to glow from rocks in a creek!" One can make one's way without influence, but sometimes influence is a needed kick in the pants that we had no idea that we needed so badly.

I learned carbon printing from a magazine article -- without knowing what a carbon print was 'suppose' to look like. This was before the internet explosion of forums and information sharing. I started in 1992, took a couple years to start making good prints, and saw my first carbon print made by someone else in 2003...very different than mine. Early on I saw possibilities with the process and experimented and pushed it in the directions that best fit my way of seeing and expressing the light and Place. I do not know if my present expression of light would have been sidelined (or enhanced?) by being influenced by the way the handful of others were carbon printing at the time. It was (and still is) a great learning experience.

SeriousLensIssues -- I said that with a smile.

That all looks like "self-aducation" at its finest! Well done!!!!!

Oban Chocolate Company 2012 (one of my favourite haunts when I lived there). This was one of my early street pictures -I usually shoot landscape, of which the West of Scotland has some spectacular examples; when it stops raining anyway. I set out to push my comfort zone and do something a bit different, which I feel seven years later I'm achieving. Those of you who do the postcard exchange will have seen some of my more recent images made at Rosslyn and I'm looking forward to showing more.

Love the 'cinematic' mood here - like from an old French film.

Were you thinking of Renoir's 'La Grande Illusion'? The scene where the French soldier takes refuge in the cowshed is one of my all time favourites, also IIRC HCB worked with him as a cameraman.

Havent seen the movie, wasnt thinking of anything in particular, French have and continue to produce great cinema, especially when they dont panda to Hollywood.

Anyway more another blurry pic from the street.

Yes, I know what you mean-kind of hard to put in to words , but if you've seen enough French Cinema you know it when you see it. Nothing wrong with a bit of blur in street pictures (Klein , Moraiyama and others); I love my Trip as well ...simple, reliable and pocketable.

Thanks for posting these, it's always good to see what other people are up to. Composing pictures on the hoof, especially when you're in a crowd can be challenging ...of course you can make pictures that are about randomness and lots of different elements, like Gary Winogrand or Lee Friedlander for instance. Incidentally, Bystander by Colin Westerbeck & Joel Meyerowitz is an excellent history of street photography.

Is it street photography if he wanted me to take his picture?
