Why Street Photography is not documentary
Street photography is an eye focused on the ordinary, on the every day life.
Its interest is in capturing every day moments and situations that filtered through the sensitivity, vision, personality of the photographer are able to pass emotions and sensations to the viewer.
Moments can be of every kind: ironic, sad, melancholic, surreal, beautiful, wry, tender, poetic, destabilizing, iconic, descriptive. They all show aspects of life.

The uploads are smaller than my usual. I figured if you were going to look at 24 photos, you would want them to load fast!
Had a bit of a deviation.
Now I am back.
Ten classic portraits of Fong.
Ten art nudes of Fong to follow soon.
Keep trying for the 'fine' art label:
it is more demanding than it seems!
