Did You Know?

The potential for an encounter between these two men is suggested in the image, even though it may not have been sensed by the men in real life.

Description

This image falls into the tradition of street photography, practiced in the 20th century by Walker Evans, Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, and Garry Winogrand. Doug Rickard found this image on Google Street View and re-photographed it from his computer screen. Google’s cameras, intended to document buildings and streets, often capture daily life on those streets. By re-framing and re-contextualizing digital images from the web, Rickard brings street photography into the digital information era.
