Adobe, give us courage to edit what photos must be altered, serenity to delete what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other.

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.

I think that her work may end up going the same way as Disfarmer, hyped up so that people will pay thousands for originals. That way a few people will make a lot of money.
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.
Miami is 3rd city and we are 5th city from Miami so how many burbs away?
