>>2889454I used to do street photography but stopped a year or so back because of how pointless it began to feel. Whenever I tried to justify it to myself, I'd always end up at "but I'm exploring what it means to be human..." and that's when I realize the genre's been gutted. I guess it was on me to not find a direction to go with it, but it made me sick to see so many of my "peers" posting soulless photos of homeless people, people's backs, people looking surprised at the camera, people on bicycles, etc. just go on Flickr, and you'll understand why I rage-quit.
Albeit landscape photography has even more annoying cunts, basing my intent and style on what The New Topographics was about has given me a fresh, new direction.
