Street Photography














Candid images from the street were my first lens loves. The remarkable visions of people like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliott Erwitt and Helen Levitt inspired me to follow their quest for moments of archetype, humor and irony that may be found in the public lives of strangers. That taste for authenticity today informs my approach to street fashion and is shared by fellow bloggers like Meligrosa of Bikes And The City. Now her "homefries" is blogging his views at notmyrichie and has introduced me to the work of Vivian Maier, an unsung heroine of mid-twentieth century street photography. Just as remarkable is the story of how her trove came to light after languishing decades in obscurity. Thanks, Richie.

This posting brings to mind memories of swanning around Atlanta aboard my own Vespa scooters to coffee shops and markets, of Dr. Martens and stringback gloves. Of her look, she said: "I'm a sucker for ruffles. Anthropologie is about the only place I shop. For jewelry, Beehive is where I bought this necklace. It's good to support local artists and they sell beautiful work."

Often umbrellas block our view. Her clear canopy allows an unobstructed look at the world and ensures that she does not escape notice, either.
