Bourdin brought the street and story telling to fashion photography. See fashion photographers today obviously copying him and some street shooters trying to capture his moments (think, for example, the disembodied lady blocked by a street lamp but fancy shoes visible on each side; know I've tried to catch such a shot on the run). Same with the reflections and ambiguities some street shooters create. Regardless of whether they are "names," they're borrowing a style, consciously or unconsciously -- at least to my eyes. And to use your verbiage, it was a curveball I felt like throwing. Sometimes the pitch catches the corner. Sometimes it misses. Hope you're well. Greg Rubenstein
