What’s the difference? Are there different levels or types of street photography? Why are some images better than others? \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe genre of street photography has experienced a renaissance over the last several years. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that everyone has a camera all the time but most importantly, it’s because street photography has the potential to reveal a lot of the really amazing moments constantly happening in the daily, seemingly boring routine of life, if only we would pay attention. Street photography is simply about being present and paying attention to life. Gestures, emotions, colors, light, they are all around us every day. We don't have to travel to an exotic destination when the grocery store, the train or even the office will do.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd just like life, street photography is imperfect, difficult, frustrating and at the same time very rewarding.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leica Lounge is a lecture series hosted by Leica Store Miami which features presentations by local members of the photographers, editors, gallerists and educators.
