Digital photography

I was just making the point that the leap between the 'shooting from the hip' style of street photography and automated photography such as streetview or CCTV isn't as big as you may think. Street photography is often preoccupied with eschewing a premeditated documentary style in favour of becoming transparent, what's more transparent than a camera you don't know is there?

Hmm, that's a very fair point, but what do you thinking about the human input aspect of taking the image. After all, it's a human documenting the nature and behaviour of another. Automation would miss those idiosyncrasies no? When I shoot, I look for the detail you'd normally ignore, while automation would rely on chance that that action would
Occur by taking masses of images.
