That reminds me of something I dislike about street photography - there are the Greats - people like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Garry Winogrand, etc. that are positively worshipped in the street photography community.

To the point where anything that they ever produced is automatic gold. People don't seem to account for the fact that, like all other artists, 99% of what these people produced is somewhere between utter crap and not great.

But nope. If it was shot by HCB, it's automatically a divine work gifted to us by the Gods of Photography themselves. Ugh.

There is a difference between the already vetted produce of someone like HCB and the raw produce we are dealing with here. Of course he produced crap, but that crap has never seen the light of day. I doubt anyone wandering upon a pile of thousands of his photographs would consider them automatic gold.
