I surprised we who all so quickly accept the Idea of street photography with an
8x10 camera!
I remember plenty of discussions where the consensus was that it HAD to be 35mm
or it was not Street.
I've always thought you put ANY camera on a tripod and you are accepted quicker
by your surroundings then lurking around with a 35mm blending in like Fritz the
Cat in China.
Take a stand! And a big camera! That's a great idea. As far as your surroundings
go you are a surveyor... invisible...just doing your job.
