‘If you can’t do this, you’re in the wrong business’

If you are an avid street photographer fan and are looking to watch something good, don’t miss Cheryl Dunn’s excellent documentary on New York street photography, “Everybody Street.” It is already almost 10 years old but it is still so fresh.

The film features a who’s who of iconic NYC street photographers - it is an outstanding look into my favorite subject.

I included here part of the interview with Ricky Powell - and he sums up towards the end - in a great line about street photography how easy it is to have a camera on your at all times. Watch if you can, if not here’s the quote below. But it is much more fun hearing his NY accent and him demonstrating for the camera just how damn easy it is to have a camera on you at all times.

Perfection.

from Ricky Powell:

“There's no reason I shouldn't have a camera.

All I had to do was this.

If you can't do this, if this is too much,

then, ya know, I was in the wrong business”.
