Unlike the New York Times article of a week ago I do not believe > the genre is dead. In fact I think it is quietly growing. Absolutely. The streetphoto list got around 90 subscribers almost instantly. Some of the work that I've seen is just wonderful. The thing that SP has to do is get out from under Winogrand and HCB and Frank. And that is hard to do. It needs to make images that arrest people just as Frank's THE AMERICANS did all those years ago.
