Response to "New" Street Photography

from Struan Gray (struan.gray@sljus.lu.se)
John: are you thinking of Tati's "Traffic". If not, it's worth a look.

I'm not good at melting into the background, and my best people and 'street' stuff is of people who know me, but I have noticed that the stereotypical Boss-Hogg American tourist (or camera-bedecked Japanese) is often percieved as irrelevant and unthreatening. Young couples draped over motor scooters on the back streets of Naples would studiously ignore those in golfing trousers and Bob Hope white caps, but get edgy and suspicious when they saw my jeans and polo shirt. Minimum-wage security guards have similar attitudes and insecurities.
