Street Photographer Mitchell Funk breaks with tradition and shoots street photography in color. Today in 2022 this does not seem like a big deal. But 52 years ago in 1970 it was quite a trailblazing effort. Color captures something that is missing in Black and White. It's a greater sense of realism. br Funk serves as an early voice for tight design, bold color palette and carefully composed compositions instead of the more generally accepted "snapshot" street image. br The fine art print is signed, dated and numbered 2\\u002F15, lower right recto. Other sizes available. , printed later, Printed on Hahnemuhle fine art paper br Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one of the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum.
