It’s the other way round. The people Frank was photographing didn’t like him. That’s completely different. People like Frank and the good street photographers antagonised their subjects just because of who they where - that’s why they got all those good pictures of people staring at them looking antagonised. The meaning of good street photography is people looking pissed off. Isn’t that why you like Mark Cohen and Bruce Gilden so much. The whimsical shit with happy people is just whimsical shit. Unless it’s Winogrand, then it’s not whimsy.Colin Pantall’s blog: random conversations #10 (via photographsonthebrain)

“good street photography is people looking pissed off”.. hmmm … if that were true, anyone could do it. But the observation is correct that Frank antagonized people and Winogrand is not whimsy.
