Street Photography

Street photography is one of the most challenging and rewarding art forms I have ever engaged. Capturing the proverbial ‘decisive moment‘ is part luck and part art. I find the results to be a useful picture of society and one that doesn’t come out in other photographical forms. There is something about the candid and anonymous nature of the street photograph that invites the viewer into a world they might otherwise never see. What is the role of the photographer in these situations? What is the role of the viewer? Of the subject? These are questions that intrigue me about street photography. What follows is a short edited collection of thousands of photographs taken over many years.
