In recent weeks there has been a surge in the debate around street photography especially on social media platforms like TikTok, where a new kind of social outrage appears almost every minute. I am not totally surprised as it is an old debate that comes alive every now and then but thanks to the interaction this social media app allows, the debate has changed and it now includes people who are just finding out about street photography for the first time. Sure, not everyone needs to know everything that happens in the world, but it manifests something that we have been witnessing way too often ..read more

I don’t want to live like my parents. In the last few years, I have seen a rise in a kind of nostalgia for a time before the new millennia that arises from people my generation and older which I am, to say the least, very suspicious of.
