I was rather rude about street photography a few days ago, so it’s nice to be able to point you at some street photography I find really interesting as opposed to the mush. There are street photographers working now whose work I find interesting – just as some years ago I found Trent Parke‘s 1999 book Dream/Life worth ordering a copy from Australia, and wrote about both that and his Minutes to Midnight (2002-4).
One I don’t remember seeing before is Joseph Michael Lopez, featured on the Lens blog a couple of days ago in a feature Breaking Down the Beast by Peter Moskowitz, which has a set of 16 pictures from his street photography project, Dear New Yorker, which you can find along with other work on his web site. And that a picture or two did make me think of Parke is no bad thing, although Lopez’s work has many other aspects.
