2010

Candid photography has become a major element of street photographer and I personally love how we have become slightly obsessed with documenting each others lives through the form of photography and it is amazing to be able to compare the people of today and modern characteristics with the people of nearly a hundred years ago. 

A modern candid photographer i enjoy viewing who merges candid photography with street photography is Rob Cartwright.

He documents the streets of London and its inhabitants which is a long way from the images of the streets of London during the 1880's John Thompson images.

This is a personal fascination i share as i love to compare modern people with each other and the traditional values that we have both lost and still keep.

In this image we see how the traditional pass time of reading a newspaper is kept in a modern environment of technology driving cars and mobile phones which is a comforting scene. I like how this candid shot shows the mix of modern and traditional life as the middle aged driver sits in the middle of the city in his modern cab instead of his horse and carriage.
