Street photography is a bit of a mystery to me. Probably because its origins are surrounded in mystique and filled with famous names and even more famous photographs. But what sets an iconic street photograph apart from just an average or a not very good one?

During the weekend of March 23-24, I attended a 2-day black and white workshop with renowned street photographer Alan Schaller. It was a fun but tiring weekend and I learned a lot, probably more than from any other workshop or class I’ve ever attended.
