Looking at photography under the banner of street photography - I realise photographers these days have forgotten what street photography was all about say 20 or 30 years ago. It’s all about pretty pictures these days-or is it ?

Point me in the direction of good street photography produced today.

Very sad news about the great Magnum photographer Ian Berry (1934–2026). He was always so generous with his time. When I asked him for a few words about his time collaborating with the Observer art director Romek Marber (1925–2020), a three-hour conversation offered a wonderful insight.

A photograph can cross a border when a journalist cannot.

It can survive an internet blackout.

It can preserve what power would prefer to erase.

Yalda Moaiery faces 15 years in prison.

Photography is not a crime.
