Why does it matter?
i suppose it matters only if one is to strictly regard 'street photography' as capturing candid ie. unstaged situations. then again, it is well assumed that some of the 'great' street photographers, such as Robert Doisneau and that other French chap who you quote in your signature, staged some of their shots. personally, for me, an image is an image and the matter of its categorisation is always going to be subject to interpretation based upon others' pre-conceptions.
as a new person to this group, i was wondering if there were any hard and fast rules on categorisation and whether this was going to be picked up by the forum police and sent off packing to 'wedding photography'.
it seems not, which is just how i like it.
