Color-full

After watching the documentary about William Eggleston I have been very intrigued by the era in photographic history of early color. Color has been the de facto mode for our generation so it's hard to imagine a world before its ubiquity. Saul Leiter is another name that is highly regard in the hierarchy of color photographers and I find myself amazed by many of his compositions. Street photography has always been fascinating to me and the more I research famous photographs the more I am inspired. Many factors go into the construction of a street photograph and I admire those who are able to capture the fleeting moments that move by us every day. I like how the addition of color reinforces the compositional decisions and make the overall image more powerful. There's something alluring about the softness of color film as well that I think is difficult to replicate with digital.
