AS I WAS RUMMAGING THROUGH MY LIBRARY SEEKING pictures for The Philosophy of Modern Pictures project/book, I was sidetracked by looking for street photography pictures. While I have never pursued the making of street photos with any degree of concentration, I have discovered that, nevertheless, I have a fair number of what could be labeled as street photography, or, at the very least, could be said to have been made in the street photography style. I found more than enough such pictures that I created a gallery of a selection of those pictures on my WORK page.
That written, my street photography differs from that of “traditional” street photography-tradition = monochrome images-inasmuch as I, as always, make color street pictures cuz, as always, I use color as a structural element in my pictures. However, just for comparison sake, I processed all of my street pictures as monochrome images in order to see how well they “work” in monochrome.
iMo, the monochrome images work OK. If I were to submit them as a portfolio to a gallery for exhibition, I would most likely do a bit more fine tuning of the images. That written, I have no qualms about the picture’s visual interest as a rather decent body of work.
That written, I also have no qualms about believing that the color work of the same images is a much more visually interesting body of work.
Any thoughts?
