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.
