Rob- I find the comparison between street photography and jazz valid for the 
same points you made to dispute it. Any one can go out and make jazz but 
only a very few are paid for it and fewer still revered. I believe that 
street photography takes years of dedication and devotion, to deny this is 
to dismiss a large and important photographic genre.
Compare Mr. Deadman's quote from Gerry Winograd to one of my favorites from 
Miles Davis when asked what makes a jazz musician great "Think of a note-now 
don't play it".
