Q&A
Mark Farrington asks: “Many photography educators recommend developing a personal style, but doesn’t that risk becoming an artistic straightjacket?”
Mic Warmington in the UK asks: “bonjour valerie - I don't call myself a street photographer but a photographer who happens to be on the street occasionally - and I find myself being increasingly frustrated...and it's all to do with the ubiquity of the mobile phone, or cell phone as they call it in the states...you're looking for gesture, for human interactions and what do you get? The mobile - it's as though people cant do anything with their hands any more because they're permanently occupied! un petit rant - excusez moi - but do you find the same?”
