It's just another genre of photography. My impression is that people like it because, for a photographer, it is an interesting challenge to capture the fleeting and exciting moments that occur all of the time on the street that most people wouldn't notice because they are usually thinking about where they are going and what they are going to have for lunch or whatever. It's really interesting to see people look at really good street photography and and be shocked at what the photographer sees, seemingly every day, when really the photographer is just capturing what anybody could see in a day out walking around downtown, it's just most people don't look for it.

fronkpies posted:Rangerfinder elitism yet again though. I'm pretty sure I read his .pdf and it's really way over the top, it treats the Leica like Jesus Christ and it's filled with tons of anti-dSLR poo poo. It's totally contradictory, it's all platitudes like "Street is whatever, just take your picture, there's no rules" followed immediately by "If you aren't shooting on film in b&w with a rangefinder YOU ARE NOT SHOOTING STREET."
