Comment on Street Photography is struggling in search of new by Batsceba
I think that when you say that there is no interest for narrative photography, but only for Graphic Street, Shadow Street ... you are far too optimistic! I think that there is no real interest for these other forms of photography either, but as they have a higher "thumb-appeal", they get more views.
On the other side, you are also pessimistic. If a narrative photo gets 50 or 100 views in one day... that's more than in a gallery!
In fact, if we were to set reasonable personal expectations - for you it is to have found this magic moment - the opinion of others becomes less important.
Anyway, thanks for using my images to illustrate Graphic Street!

apart from having talked about my personal approach, I do not think I have wanted to disqualify the various trends, on the contrary. I only talked about my experience as administrator and I have noticed that the social photography has been lost.
in the matter of telling, I'm talking about something that goes beyond clicks. that magical thing that is rarely able to express. not thing that represent life. and I don't pretend to have succeeded!
in the matter of desperate search I read it in almost all the articles, i see around me also in productions. is undeniable, and we are in a time of transition for the humanity!

Don't get me wrong, I don't feel that you do not value these other variations of street photography. I am just trying to say that this more social documentary type of photography is not really ready for immediate consumption, rather for the "beyond clicks" as you say
