Random midday thought (probably a long one, sorry): To me (and probably to many others), one of the special things about street photography is that you're documenting the age in which we live. In addition to nice compositions, clever shots, funny shots, etc... this will become history one day. In some ways, it's almost a duty to do it. As the great Mitch Hedberg said: Every photo of you is when you were younger. The issue, as always, is that when you live in a certain era day to day it feels mundane and commonplace. You have a job, worries, distractions, so on... During the 1980s, nobody viewed the decade and thought of it the way we do today. Today, it's nostalgic. The music sounds different. The colors look different. We attach memories if we lived through it, or we create visions of what it must have been like. That's how street photography feels for me today, or at least some of it does. I like the mundane. One day it won't feel mundane. It will be a conversation. It will be memories. It will be wonderment. Does it suck seeing so many people stare into small rectangles as they walk down the street and drift back and forth as I try to navigate my own city? Yeah, it does. Is it part of our ongoing history? Yeah, it is. Will it not be that way someday because another device will come along and so daily life will look different? Almost definitely. The backdrop will look different, too. Current buildings will look much older. Some won't be there at all. Cars will look different. Everything changes to some degree. This has been tried and true through the decades so why would it stop? In 20-30 years people will look at photos taken in 2023. Those photos will look different to their eyes, and the conversation will be much different than it is today. That, to me, is what makes it special. Not every photo will be like this. Not every photo is meant to be like this. But I love the ones that are meant to be this way.
