[Leica] street photography

["Michael Darnton" <mdarnton@hotmail.com>]

I wonder how Johnny Deadman, who made the strong (I thought valid) point in 
the "Nanook" discussion that documentary movie photography requires all 
sorts of manipulation to be effective documentation, without which the 
footage is basically garbage, would react to this? By his standards for film 
work, if he considered his street photography "documentation" he would 
logically then say that what he's garnered is hundreds of feet of useless 
dreck, right?
