Waiting for the football highlights - came across this essay:

A Meditation Around Alan Trachtenberg's book Reading American Photographs and John Brownlow's Human Traffic project, by Mike Johnston, and illustrated with photographs by John Brownlow.

Its on Michael Reichmann's useful Luminous Landscape site. Michael describes this essay as:

This is an important essay not only because it casts a fresh perspective on a complex topic but also because this page contains some of the most exceptional "street" photography that I've encountered in recent years. The essay has never appeared in print anywhere before this.

Go read: I dont agree with some of what is said, but its an important discussion of what photography is about. Also have a look at John Brownlow's site here
