About Tough Street Photography

Westerbeck: I remember hearing Garry and the rest of you often calling pictures "tough" or "beautiful." Why was "tough" such a key word for you?

Meyerowitz: "Tough" meant it was an uncompromising image, something that came from your gut, out of instinct, raw, of the moment, something that couldn't be described in any other way. So it was TOUGH. Tough to like, tough to see, tough to make, tough to understand. The tougher they were the more beautiful they became. It was our language.


from "Bystander: A History of Street Photography" by Colin Westerbeck & Joel Meyerowitz
