Part 2 - The great 'Street' Photographers who had an early influence on me.

Not a complete list by far, but here are more photographers and their work I strongly identify with years later.

A selection of images from some of the great 'Street' Photographers who influenced my hand and eye.

I was asked to make a presentation at a photography group's weekly discussion at which I am a frequent  guest. The f8 Salon, led by Bill Wishner, steers the discussion towards the aesthetics of photography rather than the camera or process used in the making of photographs.  I made my talk about a favored use of the camera, 'street' photography, and how a number of the great practitioners of the art have played a role in my own photography.

Here is a short,  very un-comprehensive list of the greats, with a brief number of examples from each, scanned from my own book collection. At the end I show a group of my own work taken from a series shot from bicycles and cars, with the premise that they illustrate the grounding and influences I acquired from the preceding masters of the street.  Jim Staub  7-2014

Played with a spurt of images today, that I shot off the TV in the Fall of 2006.  World Series I believe.

On the bike at CICLAVIA, June 2013

I like to ride a bicycle. I like to take pictures. When an opportunity to do both comes about I'm in.  Ciclavia http://www.ciclavia.org/about has been a popular event for several years now in Los Angeles. I've participated in three of these, the last without friends along, just the bicycle/camera and the local citizenry taking over a major artery, Wilshire Blvd.  as subject for my lens.  In the stream - Jim Staub
