Joel Meyerowitz wrote about one of his own street photographs saying "surely life produces moments crazier than we can conceive...all one can do is gasp and shoot and thank the one-eyed God who watches over photographers". This, for me, is the spirit of all street photography. You just need the eye, and the speed, to capture all the things that happen in front of you. You need not travel far, or book expensive models or hire large studios. Just walk out of your front door with a camera and come back a day or so later with images that are more precious to you than all your other possessions put together.

Great pictures but they have this little problem with insulting their viewers. I sent them this email after viewing their news page with Opera 7:
When I went to your news page I received this message:
ha ha!
The iN-PUBLiC News scroller won't work for your browser. Don't you feel stupid??
I suggest you go get a newer one.
Well, guess what? I have a newer browser. Not an outdated one like IE. I use Opera 7. Your site has great pictures but you might be a little more successful if you didn't insult your viewers. You might also consider making your website usable by the newer, updated, and more standards compliant browsers such as Opera. Seeing a message like that just makes me want to say "Fuck you!" Your great pictures and support for street photography makes me want to give you another chance. Don't you feel stupid??
