Street Photography is a free and open-ended sort of
photography. It can vary, depending on the style of the
photographer. It can be used for journalism. It is also an art
form. A street photographer captures a moment in time, whether
he/she is photographing a bustling city corner or a man walking
down an alleyway. There are no rules or limits to street
photography and there is no certain way to do it. However there are
photographers who have natural talent for capturing a scene on a
street. Many of the more famous photos are in black and white, but
still this is not a rule. A lot of times, street photography
involves getting close to people. It helps to be in the scene when
photographing. Places that are crowded like big cities, carnivals,
midways work well for this type of photography.

"In photography, creation is a quick business an instant, a
gush, a response putting the camera up to the eye's line of fire,
snatching with that economical little box whatever it was that
surprised you, catching it in midair, without tricks, without
letting it get away. You make a painting at the same time that you
take a photo." Henri Cartier-Bresson

There are problematic concerns associated with candid or street
photography. Theres a sociological and psychological culture of
surveillance, a widespread awareness that any image can end up on
the internet and another point relatively few people understand
photographic culture. -James Lomax, Photographer
Slide 9
Nowadays, people are a lot more worried about their pictures
being spread all over the internet then they used to be. A man
named Ken Livingston tried to make public photography illegal in
London about two years ago. He gave up when their were protests
from the photography community. Photographers in New York City
organized a mass protest in the subway against recent problems with
security. Security admitted they had no legal right to ban subway
photography and the photographers won the battle.
