SynopsisSee everyday scenes transformed through the eyes of an experienced street photographer--and discover the secrets of capturing these evocative images, To Andrew "Fundy" Funderburg, street photography means hitting the streets with a simple camera (or even a phone) and capturing everyday life. To do it well, the photographer has to be part of the action--part of the moment. He or she must be willing to be yelled at, and brave enough to pick up that camera and point it at a stranger. And when the moment is perfect, magic happens; the viewer can see into the moment and the soul of the person in the photograph, and that split-second exposure becomes a slice of history, frozen in time. In additional to being an artform, however, street photography has the power to preserve the history of a city or neighborhood and bring its citizens together. It has the power to save the story of the time, place, and people--and sometimes even prove the value of a place that is worthy of preservation. After all, it's not usually the people going to work in giant office buildings that give a place it's character--it's the bartenders, the waiters, the street vendors, the lifetime residents, and even the homeless characters that make a town truly come alive., Street photography is about capturing everyday people and real moments, which means you don't have to be a full-time artist to produce meaningful images. As Andrew Funderburg shows, documenting day-to-day life in your neighborhood or city (even just in stolen moments between meetings or while waiting to pick up your kids) can be creatively rewarding and useful in preserving the character of the places you love.
