Is there any standard way to convince an ugly person to look in a

I dislike "street photography." Most images you don't want to take a second look at.


Like the photography of Walker Evans, Alfred Eisenstadt,
Dorothea Lange, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand,
Robert Frank, Joel Meyerowitz and Vivian Maier!


spouting a few names doesn;t mean much anyone can do that.
How about linking to some worthwhile images to prove the point or is that too difficult.


And obviously not just anyone has a clue either. If you
don't recognize all of those names, and know fairly well
the significance of their work... you fit the same
catagory as the OP: too ignorant about photography to
even discuss this.

All Street Photographers, and you are saying they took
pictures not worth a second look.


You'd know if you'd actually read what was said.

What does the word I 'dislike' mean ?
Most images you don't want to take a second look at.

Look up the word Most.
Note he never mentioned street photographers.


So it's not "street photographers" that take images labeled as Street Photography?

Have another drink, you aren't making a lick of sense.

There is a really huge problem with credibility in your
statement, and it has nothing to do with Street
Photography. It is you...
