"In The Beginning...For Me It Was:"

In response to the question "Where did your love of street photography start?" ...

My answer, believe it or not, is Andy Summers ... He's more famous for his role as guitarist in The Police (yes, HE wrote the riff for 'Every Breath You Take'!) but while he was in the band he took photographs of what it was like to be in the band; on the road, backstage, onstage etc.

Well, for a bit during that time, and then mainly afterwards, he did street photography and candid photography with a Leica which I saw and fell in love with (which inspired me not only to look at more street photography, but also to start taking pictures properly) ... then I found out about his influences (masters of the art such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander etc.) and it grew from there really :)

If you go to his site http://www.andysummers.com/ and click on 'photography' have a look at some of his stuff and I'm sure they'll be something there of interest :)
The photos above are from his site.
