Street Photography by Steve McCurry courtesy of the Street Photographers Foundation<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. The photo at left by Steve McCurry caught my eye. To me the name\u00a0Street Photographer<\/em>\u00a0always meant a lone soul who scoured the city streets to snap photos of willing tourists, or wandered the streets like Fred Herzog<\/a> recording the look and life in our downtown world.<\/p>\n

Note: If you read National Geographic in the 1980s, you saw a cover shot by McCurry whether you recognized him or not. Forty years later I can still<\/em> remember the young girl with the startling blue eyes!<\/p>\n

I was surprised when George Dunbar emailed me the link to the Street Photographers Foundation<\/em><\/a>\u00a0with its amazing list of well known names not usually considered as Street Photographers<\/em>\u00a0(yet their very photos say otherwise). I only recognized Fred Herzog and his work in Vancouver as Street Photography<\/em>. I knew many of the other names but never thought of them as Street Photographers<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Take a look at the story titled, “The Best Street Photographers of All Time<\/em><\/a>” and see what I mean. And give a vote of thanks to that energetic old timer George Dunbar for ferreting out this amazing site and sharing it with us!<\/p>\n

Note: The title of this post is a riff on part of a line in Janice Joplin’s sad 1970 rendition of Kris Kristofferson’s 1969 song, “Me and Bobby McGee<\/a>” recorded shortly before her untimely death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
