What is street photography?

[Rob C]

Rob, I was prompted to fill out a gap in my education and look up some of Saul Leiter's photographs of Shrimpton here.
I nearly fell off my chair with one image. It reminds me so much of Bardot. No wonder you liked Leiter's work. 

Hi David,

Nutshell!

"But anyway, folks here only chat about the Americans or the French (real or adopted)) street guys; few are even aware of the Italian school of neo-realist photographers. It's really an immense world if you look for the detail..."

Rob,

It's a pleasure to see how the level of discussion improves as soon as you join (or rejoin) a thread!
You add insight rather than meaningless nattering. Thank you!

Eric, you should hear me when I'm alone and chatting to myself, as we all do. My wife used to tip-toe across the corridor and gently close the office door so she could concentrate on her book. She never mentioned the conversations later. Miss her.
