Street Photography Film, "Everybody Street"

Everybody Street is a new film by photographer/director Cheryl Dunn. The film examines the lives of both current and past street photographers, who call New York City their home. Besides obligatory images from legendary practitioners of the genre, Dunn balances the film with a interesting mix of photographers who have been ignored in past narratives. Too often, historians treatment of street photography focuses on the sequential coverage of deserved masters like Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Gary Winogrand and so on. Dunn pays homage to the masters, but doesn't linger too long, which for anyone viewing the film for the first time, is a refreshing look beyond the textbook chronology that most photographers have become accustomed to.

You can purchase the film through Vimeo On-Demand, which if you have the right set-up, it can be watched on your phone, your computer, or even your television set. This method of ownership goes against the old way of doing business, where a hard copy (DVD) would be purchased and would end up on your shelf along with the rest of your collection, but the advantages are worth it if you're willing to embrace the 21st century. The good news is that artists are now able to keep 90% of their investment, without giving up profits to greedy distributors and production companies.
