[Leica] Street Photography

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

And one of those bloggers had an in with Wiki. And whenever you look up a 
photographer the second sentence they mention is that photographers 
relationship to "Street Photography" despite the fact they they were well 
known photojournalists or fine art photogs or something else who never even 
heard the term they are not a main leader in.  If they lived a hundred years 
ago like Eug?ne Atget they are one of the "fathers of street photography."
He was a commercial photographer by the way.

    I think it's because a few years ago, for some reasons, "street
    photography" became an "in thing". Certain bloggers probably had 
something
    to do with it.
    
    
    Thankfully we are mostly over that phase now.
