Photographing the Street

Photographing the Street features the work of four American and Canadian artists who have chosen the street as their primary subject: Garry Winogrand, Mike Peters, Gary Mark Smith, and Ian Wallace. 

Each has a distinct approach and photographs the street for different purposes. These objectives range from capturing everyday American life to creating a global street photography portfolio that highlights the variety of cultures and similarities of urban life in various areas of the world to utilizing the street as a site for a meditation on modern life. Photographing the Street testifies to the richness of expression afforded by these most public of spaces.​
