The
street stands for liveliness and light and therefore it is a source
of inspiration for many photographers. We call them photojournalists
or documentary photographers. On the other hand also art photographers
and experimental photographers love to use street life in their work.
Street
Life shows how people from different periods and cultures deal with
open spaces in a city.
It provides an opportunity
to compare the way of life between them and at the same time it gives
an overview of multicultural societies. The city is given another meaning
and the street an sich has become the scene of unimportant events again.
