"Street" Photography
There's a good article about this at 2point8. It's always felt like an alien term to my North West European ears: reminiscent of similar American idioms like "streetwise" and "to be on the street". We know what the phrases mean, just as we know what baseball is. But it's not part of our culture.
Even within a UK context, "street" implies an urban environment, the streets of London or Glasgow or Newcastle. There's no discernible street-life in Jarrow. Life outside of the domestic setting is lived in pubs and clubs, or bingo halls, or in shops.
So we need to get away from this whole "street". In fact get away from any kind of pre-conceived ideas.
But when you've gotten away from something, you need to find a place to go to. That's to be blogged on another day.

Sounds like a precursor to "Pig Sty Culture" Gary.
