Last Issue of Camera Magazine #9

For this issue of Camera, I wanted to explore a subject that could be appreciated by everyone. Camera has always tried, in both its earlier and current incarnations, to discover the next great photographer while recognizing the work of those who are still developing their talent. That was Allan Porter’s vision for the magazine, which he described as a “museum without walls.” Today almost everything that can be said about street photography has been said. Cartier-Bresson, Klein, Erwitt, Doisneau, Winogrand, Meyerowitz, Leiter, Frank. But about lesser-known talents, and the amateur photographers in 2015 whose work is rated by “likes” on social networks? Oddly, because the topic has been explored exhaustively, it’s easy to dismiss it as a “classical” genre belonging to a bygone era. In reality, however, street photography was never a genre; it’s an integral part of the work of every photographer, amateurs and professionals alike (if anyone can still tell the difference). Street photography is also architecture photography, still life, photojournalism, portraits, and above all a vital record of the world and its times.
