Is it street photography…

If there are no people? I’ve lived around Savannah, GA for 40+ years, even worked for the City for 3 years. While I was downtown last week in search of interesting people pix, I see this building that I’d never noticed before. The details, colors tell me it had been recently restored.

Yes, and it’s very nice.

I believe it would be a better fit in the Traditional Street and Architecture section than here. Nice photo, by the way.

I'll go with jaymatt on this one. Long ago, Apaflo pointed out that Street showed the relationship between people and their environments. Thus, you would logically need both elements. I would consider this to be an Architectural photo, and a nice one, by the way.

architecture, for sure. Where is this building? I live in Savannah, too. I don't think it's been restored b/c the upper areas look like they need cleaning. The tile will remain bright without much other than rain washing it off.

I have lots people shots dating back to Nixon’s visit to Savannah when the SCAD library was Levy’s Dept.Store.

IMO street photography is always ambiguous, showing (but not telling about) people in their urban environment. Giving titles to photographs takes away the uncertainty, the puzzle of the moment captured. Leave the interpretation to the viewer. A building alone is not usually ambiguous. It stands for itself.

So these are two of my best… street photography?

More likely it's architectural photography. Street is usually about people doing interesting things.

I'd say so.
