street photography

I like Weegee:



And Robert Frank:



But my favorite (though not usually considered a street photographer for some reason) is Mary Ellen Mark:

I like all of those too. I have to look up more of Meyerowitz's work, don't know it that well. I've a big book of Winogrand photos, which I can't say I'm crazy about, but he had a big influence on what was ok re shots and angles, etc.

And.... duh.... Bresson:



And Arbus:



And Atget:



This is my favorite kind of photography, if you hadn't guessed.

Masterful, he was.

I've just looked up Lee Friedlander, who I've somehow totally missed out on learning about.

Am enjoying the slide show of his photos at the Fraenkel Gallery website -

and finding that was triggered by my reading in the NPR morning addition online news that his archive is going to Yale -
