[close] A discussion around street photography with great books as the reference point. Street photography speaks to the human condition, and every one of us have a different view of what it is, and can be. I'm hoping that every street photographer will, in seeing the work of others, find a refreshing new view for their critical eye. These great books that are historical references, I believe, can make us better at our craft. For me, street photography covers a broad spectrum of photography, that also embraces architectural landscape, photojournalism, and humanist photography. We each envision different styles of street in our own mind. I'm hoping that each of us can offer their own ideas around the subject 'street photography'. Once a small group is established, I'm hoping that we can occasionally review some of these books together.

[close] A group for people who want to read and discuss the Harvard Classics together. From Wikipedia: "The Harvard Classics, originally known as Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf, is a 51-volume anthology of classic works from world literature, compiled and edited by Harvard University president Charles W. Eliot and first published in 1909. Eliot had stated in speeches that the elements of a liberal education could be obtained by spending 15 minutes a day reading from a collection of books that could fit on a five-foot shelf. (Originally he had said a three-foot shelf.) The publisher P. F. Collier and Son saw an opportunity and challenged Eliot to make good on this statement by selecting an appropriate collection of works, and the Harvard Classics was the result."
