I've removed the duplicated thread on the same subject. This one got there first.

Splendid phoitography and a great argument for the need for photographers to document modern life in the same way. One day it will be gone and if it's not recorded then the future will have no knowledge of how we lived.
Best regards, John

Great pics. I may be getting swayed into doing some modern street work. Thanks for the pointer Ian.

Modern street work soon becomes vintage street work. one aspect of photography where the pics get better with age.

For anyone hasn't seen her work check out Vivien Maier

Just a few pics of hers and the story of her posthumous discovery here:

Love the 6th pic in of the guy holding the folding camera, viewfinder to eye and a pipe sticking out of his mouth

That looks scarily like my Dad!

Excellent set of photos though - I do enjoy looking at street shots
