Howeve...Well, back to the images - they are great.<br /><br />However I do not see these as being street photography; or at least how it is being increasingly and narrowly defined by a group of particularly vocal, overly opinionated photographers.<br /><br />Now on to this Bryan F character. I totally agree with the previous anonymous poster.<br /><br />He throws out his opinions at the slightest provocation, often with an unwarranted degree of scorn.<br /><br />Then when someone disagrees or offers different views he shouts them down telling them they are stupid, uninformed or simply not good enough to be discussing "street".<br /><br />The end result is that he usually winds up looking like a fool.<br /><br />He wants street photography to be accepted by the art world, but takes every opportunity to mock and vilify the art world, for not noting the obvious creative genius of he and other Flickr street photographers.<br /><br />You can't help but dislike the guy. And it really does boil down to whether he has generally accepted likable character traits, or generally accepted unlikable traits (hypocrisy, abusiveness, imperiousness) Unfortunately, its the latter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-55900361864002180182010-11-04T14:53:07.914-07:002010-11-04T14:53:07.914-07:00Blake, my man, don't listen to BryanF.
