Brad_ Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 >>> Isn't that pretty much exactly what most street photography's all about? Objectifying, disrespecting and demeaning the unfortunate? No. Of course if that's your view and what you are looking for, I'm sure you'll find some.

Photography, and street photography along with it, has been institutionally and legally recognized as an art form for decades. Your personal opinions are your own (and certainly not unshared by others) and I respect them. You owe me no explanations, but I confess that I find them somewhat puzzling in the face of contrary evidence. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah_fox Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 <p>Puzzling? I find the assertion preposterous. I think that's somewhat like saying, "Isn't that pretty much exactly what most Photoshop work is all about? Substituting people's heads on other people's bodies to disrespect and demean them?" (Actually that would make a shred more sense in the context of the thread.)</p> <p>Keith, I generally enjoy your posts, but... come on! Lately you've been on a rather dark streak!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
