"It's the kind of photography that tells us something crucial about the nature of the medium as a whole, about what is unique to the imagery that it produces. the combination of this instrument, a camera, and this subject matter, the street, that yields a type of picture that is idiosyncratic to photography in a way that formal portraits, pictorial landscapes, and other kinds of genre scenes are not."
