A Street Photographer newbie's interesting thoughts
Mitch Alland, a recent convert to street photography, has written a thoughtful article on the subject on his blog, The Online Photographer. Good stuff, debatable thoughts such as his feeling that you need a project in order to be a better street photographer. Not how I learned it.

Mitch jumped into street photography a couple of years ago, and onto the web with post after post about Daido Moriyama, then followed up with Daido-ish clone images. He heard about Daido's use of a Ricoh GRD, so he bought one.
Very opinionated guy, occasionally interesting photographs.
