Well said Neil. One of my greatest memories was visiting Prague for the first time and one random Sunday I sat down watching (and of course photographing) life around me on a little island area in the Vltava River. There were so many little vignettes and magical moments over a few hours.
Great post! It's funny, I only recently learned the term Flâneur and it was in a different context. My very next thought was that it applies very well to street photography, and I think many of the greats were flâneurs.

Thanks for reading, Wesley. Always appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) The Flâneurial Gaze is such a potent concept. When I was in my 20s I used to think of the flâneur only as the idler, the aimless wanderer. It was only a bit later i realised how integral the curiosity and fascination with life is to it.
Fascinating and succinct - always a thought-provoking read and a visual treat.
Very nice article. Thanks for sharing!

Great post, Neil. Love your photos, especially the Grey Wolf,
How lone did you wait for that „grey wolf“ to walk by? Awesome photo! And great essay too!
Epic edition.
Great article. I must dig out my book on Atget.
One of the reasons I like photography is that it gives me one excuse to be a flâneur.
