Today I´ve realized I´m amassing a collection of photos of homeless people. There are plenty of them here in Bucharest, but it would hardly make a fair portrait of the life, the energy and the bustle of the streets here. Since making this observation with myself and with the aid of a soothing cup of tea, I started to ponder on just how objective photography is really....
On an elemental level photography is as objective a medium as you can find, maybe only surpassed by a xerox copy. Yet the moment the camera is in front of the photographers eye it becomes totally subjective, thus it could be said the only truly objective "street photo" are those taken by traffic radar cameras.
