Why Street Photography is not documentary
Street photography is an eye focused on the ordinary, on the every day life.
Its interest is in capturing every day moments and situations that filtered through the sensitivity, vision, personality of the photographer are able to pass emotions and sensations to the viewer.
Moments can be of every kind: ironic, sad, melancholic, surreal, beautiful, wry, tender, poetic, destabilizing, iconic, descriptive. They all show aspects of life.
Sharing with you an interesting article by Evangelo Costadimas.

Back to the Future. Or Not.
This article was written by Anja ~Ikarisou (https://www.deviantart.com/ikarisou) and describes her personal journey from film to digital and back to film, plus a few interesting thoughts on the reasons behind it...
I was born before the digital era began and grew up with film. The first CCD chip had already been invented back in 1969/70, but it would be years before the first consumer digital cameras would be launched on the market. So photography for me always meant film - either slide or negative film - and my first steps into photography were made with a film camera (a Kodak Ektra 90 camera that took 110 film).
But eventually digital took over and I bought my first digi

Dorothea Lange: portraits of a depression
Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) has been called America's greatest documentary photographer. She is best known for her chronicles of the Great Depression and for her photographs of migratory farm workers. Below are 42 pre-World War II photographs she created for the U.S. Farm Security Administration (FSA) investigating living conditions of farm workers and their families in Western states such as California. Most of the workers had come west to escape the Dust Bowl, the lengthy drought which devastated millions of acres of farmland in Midwestern states such as Oklahoma.
In 1960, Lange gave this account of the experience:I saw and approached t

Garry Winogrand: pieces of the real world
Granted that simplicity is a virtue; beyond this it is too complex a matter to generalize about with impunity. One might add with reasonable confidence that simple does not mean vacuous, obvious, plain, habitual, formulated, banal, or empty.
In photography the formal issue might be stated as this: How much of the camera's miraculous descriptive power is the photographer capable of handling? Or how much complexity can he make simple? Or, conversely, how much diversity must he sacrifice for the sake of order?
Consider Garry Winogrand's picture: so rich in fact and suggestion, and so justly resolved, more complex and more beautiful than the mo
As you know, I normally don't do (features) Journals.
The exception goes to those photographers that had some historical importance in the photography World, those that influence(d) me, those that I believe can move others like they moved me, humanitarian photographers, and that normally live in the "shadow" of the same old Features and references.
"Anytime you have people, and they are alive, you'll have something going on. There's always something going on in the streets."
Yes, today I bring you Joe Wigfall.
He shoots hundreds of photos during his lunch hour or walking to the train after work, in New York. And this is how he influences

Today… Mexico!
Nacho López (1923–1986) was a photojournalist from Mexico, who change the face of Mexico photos, trading the appealing and exotic imaginary for shots of common life, fusing social commitment with searing imagery to dramatize the plight of the helpless, the poor, and the marginaliz
