Ready, Willing & Able

Personally, I think that "street photography" is going to make a comeback, if it hasn't already. I can't see how it can't. The world is in a flux of modernity. It doesn't need to be about people and technology - though that is often what fascinates me. But store windows, buildings - the so-called clash of cultures - it's all there to see. It's waiting for you on every corner of the "new world." And in some ways - it's easier than ever since people are more oblivious to their surroundings than ever because of all the plugs going into their cavities. And it is only going to get more and more pronounced. Someday - cross and don't cross lights will be beamed into your brain to tell you when it's okay to cross the street. The photographer will become more and more invisible - at least in the brave new techno-world we've created. Ah - how productive we've become. Stop and smell the roses? Why stop when you can hit a button and smell them when it's convenient.

street photography seems pretty popular these days -
if you look at flickr for example, you'll find tons and
tons of (good) street photos.
