Street photography now
Written by David WhiteGreat piece over yonder about street photography.
Awesome pic on there by Matt Stuart, I love it
After you’ve had a read of that, why not join the street photography now website, it looks like a great idea…it’s a collaboration between Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren, editors of the above mentioned book, and The Photographers’ Gallery .
Each week there will be a new instruction, and photographers are invited to submit images to match the theme..
First instruction:
EDIT on above…there seems to be a bit of confusion on there about which pics you can submit..,the idea is very clear…effectively the above #1 is an instruction, so you have a week to shoot a pic to that theme. No trawling your archive like I have done below.
Ok…Any excuse to wheel out an old pic…I can’t say you can smell the street on this one…this time I have taken the precaution of embedding a subtle watermark, just to make sure, and I have been VERY clear in my metadata…..you never know who’s watching…

How do I know that the (c) is not a real C, really there, and is infact part of the photograph?
tricky…you might have to ask a lawyer..
Hang on…you might be onto something…we should make a huge perspex © notice, and take it out and about for when we’re shooting…
Unembed that, motherf?§¶•ªs
“Unembed that, motherf?§¶•ªs”
I rather like that phraseology David, plus it has multiple meanings that are pertinent in other ways in these days of rampant embedding! I put massive copyright symbols on images just like that a few years ago but people took great offense to them. Perhaps I must now revert to them?!
And thanks for the latest tip re. Street Photography Now and that gem of a quote by Bruce Gilden!
