toby 1 Posted April 13, 2005 But I took while walking down the street. Therefore it is a street category photo. Besides thereis no "ad" category so this seemed most apporpriate. Link to comment
maria_s. 1 Posted April 13, 2005 Toby, because something was shot on the street doesn't mean it is a street photography genre -- I am simply trying to clear that up for you. Check photo.net Street & Documentary forum W/NW threadsd to get a sense of what majority of photo.netters think is a street photography. And even better, do a Google search on a photographer named Garry Winogrand -- you won't regret it. There are hundreds others -- Weegee, Evans, Erwitt, Richards, Bresson -- in fact, check some of these photographers on the Magnum site. Link to comment
toby 1 Posted April 13, 2005 Yes thank you. I do know that street photography is very different from what I have here but I feel that this photo best fits into this category more than "Abstract", "Fashion" or "Still Life". Placing photos under "uncategorized" has been a bad thing for me in the past. Link to comment
maria_s. 1 Posted April 14, 2005 I see your problem -- still, placing your pics in a proper category entails, it should at least, some positive consequences -- people interested in that specific genre tend to rate in that specific forum. You may even get an interesting comment time to time :0) Link to comment
