Matching Red And Yellow by Fong Lam, Singapore, 2006
Street photographers have documented life and given insights into everyday life fro generations now. Unfortunately fears of terrorism and pedophilia are creating difficulties in the street. In London passers-by are being encouraged to phone a special hotline if they see someone taking photographs “suspiciously”. Most people interpret this as anyone not taking a family snap. A professional photographer was beaten up by a parent who thought his children were in the photograph. Never has an artist with a camera been in more danger outside of a war zone.
