A realization: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all photography is street photography. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The lowdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone wants to tyrannize their view of ‘legitimate art’ upon others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why? Insecurity, petty soul, and lack of philosophical insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Henri Cartier-Bresson<\/a> was a tyrannizing artist. How so? He said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not shoot the way I shoot, or approach photography the way I approach photography, you are not legitimate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Who is the master and slave?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a saying by Plato that goes like: “All men desire to become tyrants of everyone else.” And it is true. Whenever anyone criticizes you, they are essentially saying: “How dare you not be me!” (Barbara Kruger<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different approaches <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I believe anyone should be allowed and entitled to their own unique approach in photography. No following rules, conventions, or what has come before us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, I like to shoot lots of abstracts<\/a>, or photos of just nice textures<\/a> and colors<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
