I'm new to FM but here's my two; There's some excellent street posted in this thread but the large amount of images by a few seems a bit overwhelming.

Don't be overwhelmed!!!! I don't know your age but a few of us have been around since dinosaurers(?) were roaming the Earth..at least myself!

Post what you have..There is no competition here for who posts the greatest amount of images.
We await your contributions to the thread! Welcome!!

Thanks!

Great series Dan! That rear engine Corvair was a disaster for GM. A fire trap.

Yes it was. Suzanne's dad had one. It was also a carbon monoxide hazard! But it was neat! And the body shop cut one in half as you see.
Thanks!

Thanks, Dan.

A dinosaur at 69? It depends on the changes/updates to my smartphone.

Nicely done on your recent posting.

One thing that I am always interested in is who influences us as photographers. And in this case which photographers are our biggest influences when it comes to the street. And for me it's not to copy but who I do admire and have made me a better photogrpaher for knowing their work. The key is taking a little of this, a dash of that, take it all in and make it ones own.
If anyone is interested for me the big 3 would be:

Henri Cartier-Bresson for the moment

Robert Frank for The Americans

Winogrand for being so prolific

How about you?

Steve great points. Great list you made FOR SURE. All big influences for me. And YES I totally agree with the point you made to look at books and the works of the greats to see where the bar has been set, Not to copy but to understand where things have been in the art form.

I would also say and add:
Eggleston and his eye for color

Gilden for his boldness

Many of those already listed. But change happens, and is immutable. I go to lensculture 'dot' com, and lenscratch 'dot' com to learn what younger photographers/artists are now doing, much of which is not based on those already named.

Having said that, off the top:

Mike Disfarmer
Martín Chambí
Eugéne Atget
Raghubir Singh

There's a good story about how Bernice Abbott (another great photographer) saved a lot of Atgets work from being tossed in the garbage.

From my understanding, Atget had already sold most of his work to his benefactors. Berenice Abbott saved him from obscurity, yup, she was also a great photographer.

From what I have come to understand she went to his apartment after his death. She was friends with him. And his landlord was starting to go through his belongings and throwing a lot of his stuff away. The landlord was just about to toss a lot of his negatives when Abbot arrived. The story I heard was Abbott saved that work.

Good to know, thank you. Strange that 'angels' seem to swoop in and save photographers. Or maybe my interests don't include enough of painting, poetry, etc.
