Photography Genres

Street Photography -"The Conversation"

Photography in the Rain

"Stucco Patina with Construction Debris"

"Back Yards"

There are many different ways of photographing. Recent new genres include "The Photography of Ruin" as in Andrew Moore's exhibition "Detroit Disassembled" or Camilo Jose Vergara's "Detroit is no dry bones" Recent exhibitions in London include Photos from the far east, Egypt etc, showing women's struggle for education and men wrestlers. You can always find more on Google of course. Maybe we should learn from these professionals and not always take our usual pictures....
In England's 19th Century the art of ruin became extremely popular, especially Greek and Roman ruin!
