Yes, on a previous thread here.

It reminds me of a google+ hangout I was watching. There was a street photographer on there who made the point that even if you street photos don't hold a lot of weight right now, 20+ years down the road it very well could. I LOVE that her photos tell a very good story about New York around that time.
Yep, gritty, grainy glimpses of life. A real treasure chest.
It was Chicago:)Quote:

But people tell me I'm cynical.
Chicago - 2nd city or 2nd suburb...
Yea, some might be getting some hype for a few $$. I am glad to get to see the images I have. There is indeed something about a B&W that just speaks differently than color exposures.
It also reminds me that art is all around us all the time if we just take that 1/125th of second to notice it.
Amazing pictures.
If we're lucky enough to live in one of the better subdivisions of New York, then yes. :pQuote:
